But the protocols for unvaccinated players who catch covid are much stricter than for vaccinated players who catch covid.

This is true.

But why?

Vaccinated covid-positive++ players...

...who as you highlight are are subject to protocols much less restrictive than unvaccinated covid-positive++...

...can just as easily spread the virus "to the kid who has cancer down the road"...

...as @Snake says.

Seems like any player who is covid-positive++ should be subject to the exact same protocols regardless of their vaccination status.

The irony is that for ps players it matter much less to the team if they are not vaccinated. Five days out for a close encounter, so what as they are not playing anyway. 

That said, if i was a coach in my sixties there is no way I would accept that extra risk for myself, even if I was vaccinated, for a play that far down the roster.

Not necessarily.

Tldr; vaccinated folks can transmit the delta variant should they have a breakthrough case, however they are not only less likely to be hospitalized and/or die but the vaccines are shown to be crucially effective in surviving and containing the spread of the delta variant.

Using circular logic, I can see how an anti-vaxxer can help themselves believe what you proposed. However, anybody with a shred of intelligence can see how stupid that line of thinking is.

Here comes the Tucker Carlson fan club who would rather see people die than just take a shot. I swear I really can't wait till they just stop asking and force you guys to provide protection to everyone. Its a shame it has to come to this.

Question, why do you keep saying Tucker Carlson Fan Club? I don't watch FOX news and have the same views as some of them you say. Who do I watch you ask? I'll tell you.. Spike Cohen, Michael Tracey, Liberterain Party Mises Caucus, An0Maly, Joe Rogan, Dave Smith... Also, you do realize it is not just people who are a certain political party who are skeptical of the Vaccine right? and before you say it... Yes, I am fully Vaccinated since January.

In truth, the NFL's plans and rules dealing with Covid are basically wishful thinking. Right now, everyone wants to make every effort to keep working that it's all going to be business as usual, full slate of games, fans in attendance, no make-up games.

If you look at the spread going on now, and realize that there are other variants lining up behind Delta and will emerge, then we're going to have to be prepared for a season like last year, even with the vaccinations. 

No one wants it, but conditions are that we're just trying to hold another shut down at bay for as long as we can. Come November, December, it's going to get bad.

Let's not turn this thread into another idiotic pissing match with anti-vaxxers.

My intent is to highlight the competitive advantages of being fully vaccinated and the fact that two of our divisional rivals are going to have that.. The other "real world" aspects of COVID, vaccines, etc have been hashed out dozens of times in here and then the threads summarily sent to the TB or locked.

Why don't we just focus on the FOOTBALL aspects of the subject, since the rest of those issues have been beaten to death.

      Smitty's pre-draft analysis of Nalo

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Sure, he's said that, but what it really means is that he's just going to insist on being a two way player and the Jags want him as such. But he won't be a starter who plays every snap on both sides in Week 1, if at all during his rookie year.  This is the NFL, no rookie, no matter how good they might be, is going to be able to go through their first mini and training camps while splitting time on both sides of the ball and be ready to be a week 1 starter and go full time both sides. And if a team does that, then they're dumb. I think their plan is to start him mainly on offense to give Lawrence another weapon, and I'm guessing it means he'll be a rotational CB early in the season, maybe he comes in when they go to nickel, even if he then plays the outside and someone else shifts inside.

      Panthers sign Hunter Renfrow

      By theinstrumental · Posted

      YAC isn't the only way to be a threat. Thielen's ADOT was 11 yards last year. He's stressing a defense beyond its first level. Renfrow's 2023 ADOT was 5.6 yards. He's settling into a soft spot under a zone and the defense bets that they can rally and tackle before he gets to the marker. That kind of popgun slot receiver play is fine, but we should hope to be able to find that ability in someone who can also bring another skill, whether that's a vertical threat, or some jet sweep/screen game YAC  ability, or even just being very large and blocking well. Every time we trot Renfrow out there, we limit what the defense has to worry about.
