Freeman in the Protocol


top dawg

Recommended Posts

So should I be like every Falcon fan and say "hur-dur Freeman's just one concussion away from ending his career?"

I hate seeing anyone in concussion protocol, but far too often I see "Luke's just one hit away from the Panthers LB corps sucking" like they're wishing for it to happen.

Here's to Freeman getting healthy and remaining concussion free for the rest of his career. Screw anyone who wishes a concussion upon anyone.

Well I think most reasonable people don't want him to suffer another one, but you just never know. I told you last week that I am a little nervous about Luke. If my running back is more prone to concussions, I'd hate it. I can't help but think of Jahvid Best. Luckily for the Falcons though---irrespective of the contractual implications---they have Tevin Coleman.

Aaron Rodgers was one concussion away from supposedly having his career end back in 2010.

He's still playing strong today. What's to say Luke can't do the same?

Wasn't it you that made the thread that said if Luke had another concussion his career was likely over? Was that sarcasm?

Yes it was. 

Probably should've made it more obvious. Luke isn't going down that easily. Yet everyone seems to think that he'll surely get a concussion next year and be out the rest of his life. Pretty pathetic if you ask me.

Ok. Yeah, I thought you were serious. (There is a lot of alarmism on the huddle after all.) 

Sorry about that. I didn't mean to mock your mockery.

    • If you look at almost all Daniels stats, they are as good or better than last year minus perhaps Completion Percentage. I don't think Daniels himself is having very much less individual success than the Redskins are reverting to the mean.  https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46003861/nfl-teams-likely-decline-lose-more-games-2025-season-predictions-vikings-chiefs-commanders-lions-colts#wsh Barnwell wrote about them in the preseason as a team that had an inordinate amount of luck or success in one score games that wasn't very likely to be repeated.
    • We thinking of the same Mike White? He probably won’t even make it off the practice squad.
    • I would heavily push back on the notion of Tomlin and Cowher inheriting "collapsed teams." From 1980 to 1991(prior to Cowher and after their Super Bowl victories) the Steelers experienced just 4 sub .500 seasons. In fact the winning percentage for those years was 0.505. At most that was relatively mediocre, something fairly akin to the pre-Tepper Panthers. From Cowher through Tomlin(1992 to Present) it has been the NFL's best franchise. 22 playoff appearances, 4 Super Bowl Appearances, 2 Titles, 15 times winning the division. In fact they have only experienced 3 sub .500 records in that 34 season span.  That isn't ever a scenario where rebuilding happens. It's constant and consistent retooling so that your franchise floor is always high. It's smart business decisions, exceptional drafting and quality personnel moves that create a situation where that floor STAYS high.  It was precisely BECAUSE we opted to go through a complete teardown and "rebuild" without any of that competence being in the organization at all that led us to where we are currently. A situation that will more than likely continue for well over a decade longer.  Long term successful franchises do not "rebuild." They are in a constant state of competent flux that sustains them through some leaner periods without ripping the foundation completely out that led to that success in the first place.
