Damn dude I'm sorry to hear that. I've noticed living a healthy lifestyle helps to decrease my issues. Also monitoring and reducing your stress levels. Stay strong.

I think having covid-19 a few months before it started back may have something to do with the severity of it to be honest, but could be just a coincidence.  The worst thing is the side effects from all the meds they have me taking, which so far isn't working.  Appreciate the well wishes.

I feel you on the side effects... If you ever need to chat shoot me a DM.

Fortunately I've only had about a dozen or so seizures in my entire life. Unfortunately, the majority of them happened when I was at the gym or playing sports.

I'm not a doctor and I have no idea what kind of epilepsy he has. But I can tell you that this is most definitely a red flag and a cause for concern.

Real life feedback...

...will be interesting to see how the NFL labor market reacts.

As much as it sounds nice to say this will not impact Fields' draft stock, it has to play a factor. I hope he drops to 8 and some team gives us a haul to move up to take him. 

Depends, if he has one on the field in the middle of a play he will be defenseless to protect himself.  Could even be hurt worse.  It's a tough call.

I played high school football and never had one. The epilepsy returned in my 20s. Not sure why it's so difficult for you to understand how epilepsy works lol. He could be fine but he also couldn't and he's a health risk. Simple as that.

It's also a pain to catch, runs in my family and I've had three but can't get it diagnosed even with my mom having lost her nursing license because she had them. Took the doctors 7 years to catch it and confirm the diagnosis.  She luckily had one in the hospital during testing. Had to have brain surgery to fix them. 

 

Know some players who had a good career with epilepsy but depends on what's causing them and if Fields hasn't had extensive testing,  might end badly.

      I want the following: LB - Devin Lloyd (our big money splash) I'm also interested in Nakobe Dean if we go the cheaper route. His size is a concern beside Wallace, but Dean is a Dan Morgan type of alpha leader of the defense. He's often called the heart of the Philly defense and would absolutely bring a swagger and be our field general on defense. We need this so badly and I'd almost rather go with him because Wallace is no guarantee to ever hit his potential, so maybe we go with Dean and find a Wallace replacement in on day 2. EDGE - Boye Mafe (SEA) I think he's a great blend of pass rush prowess, age and experience. We have our potential youngsters in Scourton and Umanmielen, let's add a vet from a successful franchise to bring some heat. Bye bye Wonnum....bye bye Jones. We roll with Mafe-Scourton-Umanmielen TE - Cade Otton (TB) Again, we have youth in this position w/ Sanders and Evans. Sanders is tracking similarly to Ian Thomas (age/stats) and wonder if he will ever be the TE we thought we stole in the 4th round. Evans looks legit, but more of a balanced/blocker. Sign Otton, who Dave is familiar with and save some money by cutting Tremble. Also allows us to roll Otton-Sanders-Evans in 13 personnel WR - Wan'dale Robinson or Rashid Shaheed I wonder if either of these will be priced out of our range based on age and what they bring. We do already have a 5'8" WR with Horn, Jr. so I'd see the argument against Robinson. However, the latter is still only 25 and just hit a 1k yard receiving season with suspect QB play in NY and an elite talent in Nabers on the roster. SEA gave up two '26 draft picks for Shaheed and he has stepped in nicely for the 'Hawks...doubt they let him walk. I also saw Doubs on the FA list and wonder if he'd be what we need. We need a separator that can be a deep threat to keep defenses honest. TMac/Coker are the bigger receivers, but not necesarily guys that scare a defense....would Doubs be that guy? SAF I'd like an upgrade here and wonder if we wait out the FA period until the latter stages if someone like Ar'Darious Washington or Jaylinn Hawkins lingers and there's a discount later in the game. Nick Scott can F off and I hope he never suits up for us again.

      I just can’t see Morgan as being under the threat of unemployment at any time this upcoming season.  As little as ‘winning’ the division and making the playoffs impressed me, I think to Tepper it was like nectar of the Gods. A milestone for him. And the team did play well in the Wild Card. That has to buy him 2027. I would think. Unless we start 0-8 or something. Which I don’t believe will happen.

      I'm not arguing that Linderbaum isn't a better player than Mays, just that the difference isn't as much as people might think. At least not compared to the difference in cost between the two players will be. In any event, I don't expect the Ravens to let him get to the open market.
