Somebody edit the thread title; the news that he is off the respirator tube should be noted.

Thanks, I'm not a doctor either but the ER doc I work with thought it at least appeared to be a classic example of CC with the way it went down.  Certainly we don't know the cause yet, but I have trouble agreeing with your docs that CC recurrence would be an extremely low probability for a professional football player.  If they don't have a way to prevent recurrence,  I'd say end of career.

 

   If there is no other cause that is found then the decision will be  lup to demarr as it pretty much is  short of some sort if disability that this incident would ave incurred.  At this time we do not know for a fact that no damage was caused by even the little time he was without oxygen.  It is also really dependent on how this incident plays out to Damarr on his personal level.  It may have him focus more on his work in his community.  Football may be secondary to him and was always just a way to do what he really wants to be doing with his cause.  He may want to play football for as long as he can.  It's really up to how this effects his outlook going forward on whether he plays again or doesn't barring any unknown disability he may incurr due to this.

What amazing news to wake up to.  Im so pumped today now.  Its like feeling reinvigorated after a ***** week.  Im just full of energy.  I cant imagine how stoked the team must feel now.

 I've never been more proud to call myself a Bills fan than I have been this week. We all knew this team was a close knit team, with tremendous leaders on all levels, but the class, grace that's been on display these last few days has been both outstanding and uplifting. From Coach McDermott to GM Brandon Beane to our QB, Josh and everyone else, again all I can say is wow.

 

 What happened Monday night put this team at the center of attention at least country wide, if not world wide. And boy did they deliver. I think everyone got a glimpse of who this team is and what they're about. And the guys who were front and center delivered in a big way by being themselves. From top to bottom this team is in such great hands.

I had the chances of what is happening today at exactly 0%. Couldn’t be more happy to be wrong. What a day! Go Bills, and more importantly Go Bills Medical staff.

When I read that bit you’re responding to I think they meant it as more of a probabilistic statement like ‘what are the odds this freak injury happens to the same player twice’. 
 

I don’t think you’re at an any higher or lower risk of recurrence after going through this once.  (Assuming he makes a full recovery)

I hope he can send a video to play on the Jumbotron before the game on Sunday. The place will explode!!

Are you kidding me!! The Bills better hand out boxes of Kleenex at the gates!!

Truly truly amazing.

 

The fans, the media, everyone so far a has been amazing.

 

We need to keep pushing the NFL & The Bills to keep supporting Damar after all this energy naturally fades away. 
 

Football and sport has an outsized, positive impact on our lives and communities.  These men get well paid to do what they do, and make a choice to risk their health for this sport. Still, I think it still pales in comparison to the positive community energy they bring as a team. 

 

With that it mind, if Damar is unable to play football even again, then I hope the NFL & The Bills fully support him financially until he’s able to financially support himself. As a 2nd year, 6th round draft pick, he’s probably earned less than a million dollars in earnings after taxes. A substantial sum of money, but certainly not enough to cover living expenses and long term care in recovering from this in the years that follow.  And as a 2nd year player, he is not vested.  I understand that “everyday” and “working class” folks don’t get these benefits (I hate both phrases in this context but am left without a better phrase it’s become so collloqueal), but I would suggest that I - and anyone else in my field - don’t have the same power as these players to bring a community together, to uplift a community after tragedy, to help instill pride in a community, among the other positive aspects of being a Buffalo Bill. That matters. 
 

Given the massive cultural impact teams

make on our community, and the limited amount of players (about 2000 roster spots each year between the active roster and practice squad), and the amount of money these clubs gets from TV deals and all the other revenue streams, they need to be a lot more upfront in how they take care of players who get processed out of this league due to injury and health. 

 

I hope the NFL and the Bills support Damar for the rest of his life, for as long as it’s needed, for being a part of such a powerful cultural phenomenon, and almost dying for it

 

Or put this way, what other person in the Buffalo community that’s not a member of this team, would inspire a rally around the community event such as what we with Damar?

I can finally put this old Ej Manuel Jersey to use !

[UKBillFan]

I cannot believe the news which has come through already considering it's only four days since it happened. Just so relieved, for Damar, his family, the coaching staff, the players. The first responders and medical team deserve so much praise and love too.

 

[Drew21PA]

Absolutely amazing !

 

week started terrible but damn - thank you Lord for  your healing hands on damar - watching over all.  His family…so amazing
