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 ImfromClayton · Posted

      I personally think Bryce is going to be an extremely good Quarterback for a long time. If you look at modern QB development, it just takes a while. The extreme athletes can get by early, but if you look at the trajectories of guys the last 10 years, were seeing a lot of slow-cooking. Jared Goff, Geno Smith, Baker, Sam Darnold, Trevor Lawrence. The list is long.  The guys that were truly special from Day 1 is an extremely short list. The list of things that college quarterbacks are responsible for gets shorter by the day with the transfer portal, and the college offenses. The list of things that NFL Quarterbacks are responsible for seems to get longer and longer each season.  I saw an interview the other day in which a rookie quarterback and center were calling plays for the offense.  I can't remember the team or the Quarterback, but I definitely remember the clip. It takes time, even for the smartest and most gifted, and the reality is, we have no idea how good or bad the coaching may be until we hear things we aren't supposed to hear anyway.  Bryce isn't perfect, but I saw in another thread, his biggest struggle is risk/reward. That is something I only expect him to improve upon. His adjustments, ability to read a defense, and execution have been extremely good considering our rosters in his tenure here. Our offensive personnel and coaching were both so poor his rookie year that I'm not sure it's fair to properly evaluate that at all. Since that time, all we've seen from him is growth and progress.

      Defense ranked 10th

      Not really.  The run defense has been solid except for the opening game and New England.  We shut Arizona's run game down, but early turnovers hurt.  And of course, we shut out Atlanta.

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

      By CRA · Posted

      True, Bryce having a weaker arm wouldn’t be a big deal if it was paired with… Great accuracy, ball placement, etc. But it’s not.  Bryce has consistently done 2 things all 3 seasons.  One of the lowest completion % in the NFL each year,  one of the highest bad throws % in the NFL.    Then you can get into his unwillingness to stress a D and how that has allowed safeties and DBs  cheat coverage making the small ball so many QBs enjoy a tougher task.
