I think the quoted stats are less than 50 cases of this a year on average of that commotio cortis happening. 

 

Did it say how the other cases came about? The interview I saw didn't go into how many cases there were of this. They way he explained it the chest impact had to be at an exact location and exact point in the heartbeat cycle. I'm curious about the other cases now.

Quick snippet UNC Health

Commotio cordis is very rare. Only about two dozen cases are reported every year. “It's actually more common in activities like martial arts and sometimes baseball, if you catch a baseball to the chest.2 days ago

That's right. It's just something that happened. 

If you play fundamentally sound football your chance of catastrophic injury ( some may consider CTE catastrophic) is pretty low.

 

But the first time you put on a helmet there is a sticker that flat out says improper use can cause paralysis or death. Coaches (well good coaches emphasize this) 

Overall football is pretty safe.  Hell the first 9 years I played that wouldn't give you water until practice was over.

They'd yell water is for the weak.

You won't get water on the field in the 4th quarter you won't get it now. Acclimate!

And the time honored water is for pussies.

 

Hell if a guy passed out from lack of water he was chastised back then.

The equipment is better the treatment and medical is better.

I think something like 50-60% recover 100% but IIRC all the other cases were fatal.

And people aren't wantonly ignorant like back then. I remember all that BS.

Think of all the poor kids and young men that died for that ignorance.

I know, but it makes a difference when people see it happen. 

The emotional impact of seeing something happen vs just hearing about is night and day.

We’ve all had those ‘you had to be there’ experiences.

I can see what you are saying from a social media standpoint but it's just basic human empathy man it doesn't cost you anything.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
