Don't know what the outcome of this will be. He has said that he would retire before getting a permanent brain scramble. Not saying he will or should consider it, but if he gets his bell rung again..:who knows.  He just broke down and went to pieces unlike anything I have seen before. Sit him the rest of 2016 if need be. Don't take the risk of forcing a third incident that may force his hand.

This team is just about done anyway. Don't end a HOF type career to try and salvage a lost season.

He most likely broke into tears from that huge hit, his body was in shock. Best case he has the Alex Smith case where he really doesn't have a concussion but is in protocol from the way the hit looked, but worst case he's out for Seattle and Raiders, and maybe more.

If he got a concussion idk how looked like he got the wind knocked out of him badly. No replay showed any hit to the helmet. Confusing

back of his helmet as he fell down.  It's scary that a hit like that could cause a concussion...meaning this could be something that could become more regular for him.  We might be smart to lock down Klein in the offseason.  Regardless, I pray he's alright, if he stays healthy, he will make it to canton.

Honestly he is a ferocious player. This is the price you can pay as a warrior. Luke is about as perfect a player you can ask for. But this is also reality. Football is a violent ass game. 

I pray he's alright and hope he never suffers this kind of thing again. But you really can't blame him if it's a concussion and he considers leaving the game (He won't). But he's already a millionaire and among the all time greats even now. He doesn't have to prove poo.

A former player of ours comes to mind

Need not say his nam

Sadly, the first thought that came to mind. If you watched the '03 Bowl, you might have heard his name a time or two. Concussions can really mess with your emotions and have unpredictable actions. I think emphasizing his crying was unfortunate, because it was either a man terrified he had suffered one or some type of response to the trauma.

Say what you want about the NFL, the protocol has probably helped a lot of guys brains. 

Its not the concussions that turn your brain to mush. It's the repeated hits to the head after a concussion has happened. Luke will probably be out for at least 3-4 weeks, but should be ok long term. 

That being said, I'd sure like to see a better angle of how he looked on the play right before. If he got concussed on that play and then got hit again immediately following, that could be very bad. It looked like he just got his toe stepped on so I am holding out hope.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
