NoCalMike Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I guess the question now is what does Jordan Reed want to do? Is this going to be a clear cut case of Doctor's recommending he retire and he listens, or will this be a situation like Alex Smith where the team is on the hook paying his salary for awhile, while he figures it out? I know that sounds harsh, but the reality is that will be a a second key position (3rd if you count Trent's holdout) that a lot of money is tired up into someone not playing and likely not playing anytime soon. All three for different reasons, but also a very real possibility that all three never play a game for this team again. For Reed specifically, the smart decision for his own good would be to retire and preserve his health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbias Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I hope he's okay. I've had friends that are working through serious concussions and one took over a year before she could just start going to the gym. I hope he's able to do many of the day to day things that make him happy and he's not dealing with any type of depression. Just like all of us, he's a human just trying to get bye. Sure I was introduced to him as a only as a football player, but I hope his career never gets in the way of his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExoDus84 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I think he needs to retire. This game isn't worth sacrificing his health anymore than it already has. Concussions are no joke, and there has probably already been enough damage to cause some issues for him later in life. He's already made $24M in career earnings, so financially he should be set. Go into that good night, Jordan. Enjoy the rest of your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 1 hour ago, Malapropismic Depository said: It's also baffling since guys like McLaurin were completely held out of preseason. They can claim it was injury, but I think that was an exaggeration. If McLaurin, a rookie, can survive without preseason, how much more should Reed be held out, taking all things into consideration, such as his experience level, injury history, etc. Reed easily could have skipped preseason, and would not have skipped a beat, performance-wise, in Game 1. Even with all that being true, I still think something else would have come along and he'd have given us his usual 10-12 games, if that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyHolt Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Reed played 13 games last year. Too bad his foot/toe was so ****ed up. Just our luck, he goes concussion free but then cannot run for **** and needed physical therapy all year just to get onto the field. Hey in other news Colt is limping back in.

thebeermonkey Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Should be forced to retire. In fact should have retired a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh8686 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I wonder if either Jordan Reed or Vernon Davis will be back next year. Same goes for Josh Norman to be honest, but for different reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope his desire to play does not cloud his judgement for the prospects of having a healthy life with his family. He has young kids I believe, and he should be there in sound mind and body as they grow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope for the best for him and his family, as I would for any human, but doesn't stop me from thinking he's been a wasted roster spot for many years...

NoCalMike Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I know concussions are serious, especially with how many Reed has had, but if you have to be out for 5+ weeks due to one, I think it is safe to say you probably need to retire for your own well being. Also, it's funny because Vernon Davis was brought here the entire time to be the backup, the forgotten once great TE, but he has usually been forced into the #1 TE role instead.
