Give us a conditional 2034 7th rounder & Trey Lance could be yours.

If Tua were out for the year, I could see them giving us a call, but he'll probably only miss one game.

It's sad but Lance is better than that shitty backup QB they had play last night. What a bad list though.

You really want a Flacco type just sitting on the streets. That system and those weapons would be great for a QB with some talent. But they don't have one with Tua out.

If he only misses one game it won't be long before he is out again. Concussions happen really quickly if you don't take enough time in-between.

I've had multiple concussions and it is definitely true...it gets to a point where it takes almost nothing to cause one now.

My son thinks he's a badass because he concussed when we were wrestling one time when he was 4.

I was drunk as shit another time and sneezed my head right into a cabinet door edgewise, concussed.

Shit man.... Are the symptoms the same every time or so they differ depending on how hard you've hit your head at that time?

If he only misses one game it won't be long before he is out again. Concussions happen really quickly if you don't take enough time in-between.

Honestly, you could make a case that the Dolphins are liable for the state that he's in now.

It was criminally irresponsible of them to let him play as soon as they did after that concussion he suffered vs the Bills.

I mean, the guy gets up from the concussion and his knees buckle and he falls again and yet those morons still weren't willing to concede that he had suffered a head injury of some sort.

How the hell was he allowed to play so soon after that? For that reason alone, if I were him I would expect all of the money that's due to me even if I retired.

Maybe he's not in such a sensitive state if he doesn't suffer another concussion so soon after, which never happens if he isn't playing vs the Bengals as he shouldn't have been.

A harder hit will cause a more intense concussion for sure, but even with a light hit I'll get spaced out for several minutes and get a nasty ass headache. It takes several days before my brain doesn't feel like it's on springs...just the slightest jolt would have it hurting like hell. And it takes even longer before I feel like I have my head on straight, if that makes any sense...kinda like a long drawn out hangover.

I don't see how Tua would be able to go again this week.

I agree with Mike Tannenbaum. He should be immediately be put on IR to give them at least 4 weeks to sort everything out.

Totally agree.

 

[Genghis Khan]

That would actually be an interesting landing spot for Lance.

 

[Genghis Khan]

How does the Nooch even make that list?

Peterman and Ridder are also on the list, so the list isn't exactly a high bar.

How can the league pretend to care about CTE while essentially looking away from Tua's concussions?

 

[Bipo]

How can the league pretend to care about CTE while essentially looking away from Tua's concussions?

Because these players aren’t human beings to the league and billionaire owners. They are merely investments.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

How would you all feel if next time we saw Tua he was wearing a guardian cap during the game?

 

[Foobio]

Because these players aren’t human beings to the league and billionaire owners. They are merely investments.

That’s for damn sure. They can’t even be bothered to take care of the health care of former players in a sport that most definitely needs it. They don’t give a fuck about these guys.

 

[NoDak]

How would you all feel if next time we saw Tua he was wearing a guardian cap during the game?

Don't care.

 

[mcnuttz]

Doesn't seem like it would be super effective for a guy with multiple concussions.

 

[boozeman]

How would you all feel if next time we saw Tua he was wearing a guardian cap during the game?

Like I said. Two or three. Encase his entire head in a plastic stabilized bubble. But at least put the logo on it.

 

[Rev]

I think at the very least he should wear it.
