You could just as easily ask “how is their strength and conditioning program?”

 

Yeah, but I wanted to summarize the group/process in the thread title---I did mention them.  That is part of it, and an important part.

I’d argue one of the more important parts. There’s a reason injuries occur in the first place.

Sometimes it boils down to it being such a brutal sport but a lot of times these injuries are preventable via proper strength progression and conditioning coupled with adequate rest and nutrition.

NFL medical staffs for teams are all probably about the same. If ours was worse Tepper would change it. Hell, JR would have changed it.

This.

These players hopefully are smart enough to know getting second opinions and more qualified outside health sources is the best option. They are most certainly paid enough to have that be an option, so really there is no excuse.

Probably?  But you really don't know, and you decided to apply that lack of knowledge to a thread where you called those that oppose your lack of knowledge names. Perhaps a different strategy would help make you a bit more credible--and likable. 

This article is about a game in which Case Keenum visibly suffered a concussion.  He stayed in the game, was diagnosed with a concussion.  It talks about consistency with NFL concussion protocol.  Now, if they were all the same, would it be necessary to address INCONSISTENCIES in medical protocols?  Most medical staffs would have pulled Keenum, but this one did not.  It is only an example, because I like to provide supported facts when I make a statement. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/rams/2015/11/23/case-keenum-concussion-st-louis/76266596/

That is true--I played in college and strength and condition is part of the rehab that is medical--but S&C is also something individualized for all players...But the medical staff (specialists communicating with trainers, etc)  oversees the injury from initial diagnosis through the surgery to the S&C.  If they misdiagnose the success of the surgery, or fail to see this or that, the S&C can delay the process.  They work together, monitor progress or the lack of it, etc.  It is all connected, but I would refute any position that suggests it is more important that medical oversight.
