I don’t care if it offered 0.5% better protection; we’re talking about the brain here, not an added shoulder pad. Generational wealth, unfortunately he’ll only remember a third of his own generation.

Low Positive Posted October 26 Posted October 26 I don't feel sorry for Tua at all. He is not a "good dude." I'll leave it at that. 1 Quote

frostbitmic Posted October 26 Posted October 26 I think at this point it's almost inevitable that we see Tua turned into a vegetable on the field. Something that is permanent, if that hasn't already happened. 1 1 Quote
Jerome007 Posted October 26 Posted October 26 (edited) Steve Young got battered mercilessly at the end of his career. With no concussion protocols. And he looks normal. Same for many boxers and MMA fighters. You just never know. I would not take that risk but I get it that it's hard to just let go like that Edited October 26 by Jerome007 Quote
DJB Posted October 26 Posted October 26 I initially felt bad for Tua after he had a couple of concussions but after his latest one I said to myself you just can’t ever come back from that. You’ve secured the bag Tua just retire Ans now that he has decided to return and refused to wear the guardian cap? He has what’s coming to him honestly and I have no sympathy for him. 2 2 1 Quote

Don’t think it’s an if just a matter of when. Out of curiosity, what exactly lead you to “like” Tua? I’m mean, compared to Tyrek, he’s probably a standup guy. But he was asked point blank whether he would wear a Guardian cap and he said “no”. What are the redeeming qualities you see in this guy? Quote

nedboy7 Posted October 26 Posted October 26 Good for him. He’s a grown man and he can make his own decisions. Would I make it? No. But I wouldn’t even step foot on a football field regardless of concussions. Everything has risk and he can make his own judgement call. Playing football in general you know you’re risking your brain health regardless of concussions. Quote
balln Posted October 26 Posted October 26 Who cares If he plays he plays , if he doesn’t he doesn’t. Does not matter at all to me as a bills fan. 1 Quote

You dislike a guy and judge him as unredeemable because of the guardian cap? Do you wear a leather helmet or some skull protection when driving? Do you don chaps when using a chainsaw? Harsh.

Malazan Posted October 26 Posted October 26 Amazing how many health experts there on this board. I'm honestly impressed the extent that ya'll "do your own research" on these things. Quote

Breakout Squad Posted October 26 Posted October 26 Tua can do what he wants but it’s laughable that McDaniels said ‘zero’ doctors recommended he retire!! Who the hell are those doctors and what doctor would suggest a player with a history of concussions go play again? Quote
