He played the whole game.  There is LITERALLY nothing that is factual about him having a concussion that game.  

Stop it. You're embarrassing yourself.

Rivera has said he’s not sure when Oher was injured, although a source told the Observer that Oher likely sustained the concussion before the Week 3 game against Minnesota. Oher gave up three sacks and committed a holding penalty in the loss to the Vikings.

No FACTUAL evidence.  ALL speculation.  It could've been in practice for all we know.  

Show me some receipts, then, we'll talk.  

Edit: there wasn't anything about a concussion until that Friday.  Was he practicing with a concussion all week long?  When did the symptoms start?  ZERO, and I repeat, ZERO factual evidence.

Speculation based on solid premise. Everyone watching that game knew something was off with Oher. Do you really expect the Panthers to come out with an official statement that they failed to properly follow the concussion protocol? C'mon man. It's not that hard to put two and two together on this one.

Like I stated, you're speculating.  ZERO evidence shows he had it during that game.  Come on.  Michael Oher was trash in that game vs the Broncos X2, and he was facing another stout defensive line in the Vikings.  Do the math.

You guys could be finding an excuse for him.  I'll just go with his past performances for my judgment.

When have you been one to care about evidence?

People claiming he had a concussion during the Vikings game are doing less speculating than you. At least there are sources claiming that. I'm not aware of a single source actually refuting that claim. If he didn't, I would've expected the Panthers to come out with a very strong public statement refuting that claim. Instead, they clammed up to let the storm pass which is the smart PR move to make if you can't prove that he didn't have a concussion in that game. The last thing you want to do in that situation is have an investigation launched on your following of the concussion protocol if you know you don't have a leg to stand on.

To be fair, this is the same team that had Cam play four games with a torn rotator cuff when the games didn't matter.  I think that alone, should tell you something.  

Also, why wait until that Friday to say he has a concussion?  We literally heard nothing all week about Oher.  And he was actually practicing for the majority of the week.  That whole situation is just weird, man.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
