    He’ll try new helmets and some other stuff before calling it quits. I think we’re 2 more concussions from retirement.

    Are you talking about hamlin? If so, a freak accident is different than watching people let a guy repeatedly trot out after multiple major traumatic head injuries only to experience them again.

    my point is that I'm pretty sure it's currently up to the player if they wear it in games.

    Malpractice comment aside I’m not even sure that cap helps with that specific hit. His head still rattles inside the helmet. The actual blow to the helmet wasn’t severe

    Looked like he was between sliding and putting his shoulder forward irrc. If he fully commits to not diving and positioning himself better I think he’s probably ok. If he slides, he probably doesn’t get the first down.

    What happened with the guaranteed money when Luck retired? Different scenarios of course but wondering if they worked out some sort of settlement

    It's honestly why I don't like the new dive rule for QBs. Being down on contact with the ground basically forces QBs to always put their head down in must convert situations.

    seems like if he has to retire because of this there would be some sort of exception with the potential cap hit for the dolphins.

    What the fuck are you talking about?

    Those calls were made after he was concussed in 2022 then put back in the game and suffered a worse concussion the following week against Cincinnati. If you think that's a safe way to care for a patient, you're a moron.

    Our cap is fucked already for the foreseeable future. It is what it is, if he retires and it kills the cap break up the team and restart. Also fire grier for never addressing our dogshit Oline. Sick of that asshole and him constantly ignoring that our Oline is dogshit outside of Armstead. He's a big reason we're in this fucking situation

    Great call. He’s definitely healthy enough to play football! This concussion was totally not foreseeable, and neither is the next one if they trot him back out there.

    I feel like team doctors are no different than HR at any job. They're only there to make sure the player gets back on the field and protect the bottom line and performance for the team. They're not there to actually protect the player

    Tua seems especially bad about getting those “whiplash” / helmet bouncing off the ground hits. I don’t know if it’s the hit or the ground that did it this time, but when they showed the concussion compilation (what an awful phrase) that seemed to happen every time.

    he solved that problem after the 22 season by taking jui jitstu classes. He didn't have a single whiplash fall last season. But clearly his brain is in bad enough shape anyway that an innocuous hit can cause a fencing reaction.

    yes, he solved the fact that he would land badly and have his head snap back and hit the grass with the back of his head. He didn't land that way at all last season. Last night's concussion was a result of his head hitting a player's arm in a pretty normal fashion. If you can't see the difference in how he got his first 2-3 concussions and last night, there's no helping you.
