I've already got bashed for saying this but I'm starting to get the feeling that Luke got some kind of news from the doctor along the lines of how close he came to being paralyzed or knocked in a comma and Luke has a huge decision to make..

I would be crushed if this happened but we are seeing young players and veteran pro bowlers retiring early because of the concussion stuff.. 

Am I officially going on the record and predicting he's going to announce retirement?! Of course not, I will say though that I would not be completely shocked if it did end up happening, absloutley devastated but not suprised.

I'm hearing from my sources that, much in the way Hardy became the poster boy for domestic violence, the league intends to use Luke's case as an example of how tough they are regarding concussions.

Everything is on the table up to and including forced retirement. Jerry R. must have really pissed someone off.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

not really, just trying to raise PU's blood pressure a bit more.

All bullshitting aside, has anyone from the press straight up asked RR if Luke suffered any other injuries besides concussion? 

If you watch the presser on the 24th Ron is asked if there was anything involving the spine and he says no.  So they are either flat out lying or we are overreacting.

It is not a coincidence that our bye week is next week and Luke hasn't been cleared. 

It was probably stated that unless his Neuro Eval came back perfect, he would rest.  As a neuropsychologist, I am very familiar with this evaluation and the timetable.  Given the severity of his injury, it is no suprise he isn't fully functioning cognitively yet.

so as one of the few of us on here who is actually qualified. What's your guess in regard to his return date?

Do you think the injury is more concussion related or anything else that could cause trouble that the eye does not see?  His form even before the tackle was way off, from the body language something was wrong.  I don't have extensive knowledge in body functions but my eyeball test screamed something was wrong as soon as the play he was injured snapped.  Even before the snap, it looked like he wanted to get off the field.  I don't know medical but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express.

4-6 weeks post.  Depending on severity.  Luckily there was no torque.  Only coup/countercoup.  Torque leads to axonal shearing.  This is far less likely with a head on injury.  

 

The real concern is that the blow was to the top of the head, sending the brain down into the sphenoid and ethnoid bones. They are extremely sharp ridges that line the floor of the skull and often cause microbleeds.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan

      I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
