duffy Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I'm blown away he was allowed to stay in the last game and now this. Someone seriously screwed up and this poor kid is suffering as a result. Best wishes to him. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballZombie Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 The people investigating the possible health shenanigans last week will surely leave no stone un-turned after this. If someone was in the wrong and knowingly put this man in a position for this to happen, there needs to be unprecedented consequences. Future similarities for all players need to be discouraged at all costs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringMetheHeadofBruceAllen Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Sadly, the NFLPA will need stronger leadership than they currently have under De Smith in order to really make any changes. Smith is simply not smart enough to take on the NFL owners. He allowed the owners to buy him off with some extra $$$ towards the players to add the 17th game, which we all know will soon turn into 18 games per year. Tua went back in due to the fear all NFL players have that they will lose their job if they don't play...kinda sounds like RGIII going back into that playoff game against the Seahawks back in 2012, doesn't it? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 The nfl will do little. Tua shouldn’t have went back in Sunday’s game and shouldn’t have played yesterday. Bridgewater is a capable backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard Washington Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 I read somewhere that many of the UNCs had little experience in neurotrauma. In nearly every NFL city there are leading neurosurgeons or clinician-scientists who could fulfill the role and depend on objective (as possible) assessments vs. depending on self-reported symptoms. Heck, just hire some of these guys https://careconsortium.net/about/history-mission/ They have sites all over the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerPacker Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Played the entire game against the Packers on Christmas, but now he's back in Concussion Protocol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostofSparta Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Is Tua going to make it to 40? That's a lot of damage in just a few short weeks, and he's not even 25 yet. And it's not like the NFL or his team seem to show any kind of concern for his wellbeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 My guess he attempts to come back in 23 but has another concussion and has to retire. Dolphins have to look at other options for qb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraCommander Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 I feel bad for the kid. Just can't stay healthy unfortunately. Hope his brother has an easier time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
