CHRIS nails Tua. A headline i never thought i'd never post.
He might be but his hand is on his hip like my mom did when I fucked up
Good stuff but last comments about players needing a culture change has to be the very last step. Pls realize you just said you don't want anyone fired (WHOSE JOB IT IS TO WATCH FOR ONE THING) but that job should also be shared by the players. I don't think you mean to say that so wrong.
Fire people! NFL people, med staff, dolphins staff. Get it right. It's not the players job.
In business and life, play long term games with long term people. McDaniel showing he cares about players health is a good way to attract and retain quality people across organization.
So I guess Simms is never talking about Zack Wilson again huh?
yes mike has the same exact record as Flores did actually might finish worse….. with waayyyy more talent. Yes lots of props to mike….
This is beyond serious and this mans career could be in jeopardy. Tua needs to seriously think about his health after football, remember a guy name Andrew Luck who said forget football im gonna retire while i can still walk and talk.
some one is taking orders from ownership to overlook this shit
As soon as they see a player's head hit the ground he should be tested, not just right after but several times during the game.
tua's biggest problem are those silly xtian symbols he wears on his face. russell wilson's a big time religious nut too…
Mike McDaniels could get a job today if the Fins front office fucks around.
This is an inaccurate editorial. The coach swept the concussion under the rug vs Buffalo in week 3. Now that the season is going down the tubes, the coach is finally speaking out.
So you didn't read what happened the first concussion at all. The Doctor who originally evaluated tua when they said it was a back injury did not follow NFL protocols. That's why he was fired. They asked him why he didn't follow protocols he got mad and never answered so they fired him I don't know how every other reporter got this correct besides you
Give me a break. Mike McDaniel is a big part of the problem. Get real. Open you eyes and ears. He is largely responsible for allowing this to continue. Nothing worse than making excuses for a head coach. Three games of Tue banging his head off the ground and the head coach is missing in action at the time he shouldn't be. Clowns.
Coaches are liars or they say protocol. It's the team, keep em on the field philosophy.
Calling it now – Derek Carr to the Dolphins next season.
Concussion protocols are as weak as the Covid restrictions. During the regular season EVERYBODY wants these players sat down "for their safety." But once the playoffs come around (lotsa ratings = lotsa $$$$) how many players, especially the megastar QBs, did you see catch Covid?
Bills vs. Chiefs, Eagles vs. Cowboys, Bengals vs. Chargers will NEVER see their QBs sit the bench under concussion protocols.
NFL needs a concussion IR, or amend IR, so teams aren't forced to run a player or two short when players aren't available for games. Let the teams manage their depth, that's the ultimate player safety 1st.
There is a physiological issue where brain/skullsize has a larger gap. Where concussions are way more likely.
I'm confused wasn't when news broke McDaniel said tua came to him and he didn't see any signs but now McDaniel said he went over the plays and told tua to see a doctor
Im a packers fan and i said 2nd half only reason defense looked good was the concussion and got torched by many packers fans. Look i am die hard packers fan but joe b. Is literally the worst d coordinator in nfl history he is who i thought he was bad. Minnesota game will show more than a concussed half of a game that they were torching the defense first half. Get healthy tua dont come back until its right bud life goes well beyond the nfl.
Young man should retire while his young and as we know has his health he is set for life with that fully guaranteed 1st round rookie contract in the state of florida with no tax if I'm right so that's a couple extra big bucks$$ his saving. Enjoy your life Tua become an NFL analyst or coach no one is questioning his toughness but his health and safety are now on line and his a human being first.
All the medical people are doing exactly what the NFL tells them to do. There is an obvious sliding scale to the concussion protocol. We all know it, we all see it. The more money the owner pays a player the more lax the concussion protocol. Why are we pretending otherwise? The concussion protocol is as effective and as sincere as the Rooney rule. Which we all know is a big fat nothing burger.
