They claim it's an "independent" neurologist but how independent can someone be while also cashing a nice check from the NFL? I mean, every football fan has seen dudes staggering around like Joe Blow twelve deep at the bar and then get cleared so... well, LOL

I've met a number of doctors who are "just cashing checks" regardless of who's writing them.

If the Hippocratic Oath were a binding legal agreement, a lot of doctors could be sued for breach of contract.

I get what he was saying in terms of hospital admittance. I just think there's a lot not really well understood about concussions and their impacts and how it varies from individual to individual.

 

Look at the extreme length of time Sidney Crosby missed due to post concussion symptoms in 2011-2012. It can fug some people up badly.

My general care dr once worked for a NFL team.  He stated that he was pressured to clear players to play quite a bit by the team he played for.  One of the reasons he left the NFL.  

I don't blame players who want to get their own physician in some cases.

Understandable...

Seems like everyone I know who has had major back surgery regrets it and says they're worse off than they were prior even though the doctors swear the images look so much better after.

It has come a long way from where it had been, but still a very, very last resort. You want a neurosurgeon in his mid 50s whose third divorce was finalized 6 mos ago. He’s had time to start dating another nurse(s) and doesn’t have to come home to another drunk wife and a wrecked Range Rover…. kid, I kid.

I saw that again, and neither time I looked did it look like it was an impact with any sort of velocity with his head contacting the ground. IOW I have doubts about him having a concussion from it. Now, a neck sprain and some pinched nerves? Yeah that's where I'd go just from layman observation. 

I did used to play and got my neck jammed up the wrong way in a practice scrimmage and couldn't speak or take a breath or move for a second or two. I was lucky it came right back but that was a nerve(s) being compressed and I felt it for a while afterwards like you would from car collision I guess. You are bruised internally. I think without a concussion probably two weeks out but I guess we'll see.

Depending on the quality of doctor I guess. You can't rule out post concussion symptoms in like 2 hours post injury, I don't see a way that a doctor can look at someone who just had blunt force trauma and say they won't have a delayed reaction to it after the pain/shock wears off

Happened to my wife after a car accident and it took us almost 4 months to finally get someone to listen. She had been responsive following the accident but actually suffered a TBI. But because she had been released from the ER, getting anyone else to listen about her ongoing problems was damn near impossible.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      It's not only about the draft spots, the scheduling is a huge factor. We already have a tough 2026 schedule by playing the North divisions, that's possibly 7 playoff contenders there and a few true SB contenders between the Lions, Packers, Vikings, Bears, Ravens, Bengals, and Steelers (Browns will still suck lol), while also pulling the AFC West for the 17th game. Let's just say for the sake of argument we are going to be true contenders in 2026 in both scenarios Would you rather go 9-8 and to make the playoffs as the last WC or worst division winner, lose in the first round and then have to add likely the Eagles/Commanders, 49ers/Rams, and Chiefs/Chargers to an already tough schedule because we have a 1st/2nd round finish this year, while picking 19th in the draft (where the worst playoff team picks) or Or lose an extra game to finish 8-9, while ending up in 3rd (obviously need Falcons/Bucs to get a WC spot) and miss the playoffs, but then get to add likely the Cowboys/Giants, Seahawks/Cardinals, Broncos/Raiders to the schedule while picking 13th in the draft (the highest an 8-9 team picked this year). I can understand why some people would just want to go to the playoffs again, and I can't fault that thinking.  But I'm always a bigger picture person and looking at what is best for the future of the franchise and winning a SB, not my immediate feelings that game/season.   So I'm taking those 3 SIGNIFICANTLY easier games and the 6 better draft spots. If we're a true contender in 2026, those 3 games based on divisional finish could very well be the difference of a 1 vs whatever seed.  Right now the top teams in the NFC are the teams who play in places you don't want to have road playoff games at... GB, Detroit, Philly are some of the toughest stadiums to play in, especially if cold weather games for the outdoors ones.  Give me the few extra easier games to hopefully make the difference in getting home field advantage. Making the playoffs to just lose in the first round isn't worth the first scenario to me when the alternative is losing maybe one or two more games while looking better while doing so.  I can stomach those extra losses in a much improved season when it's for the betterment of our future.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      We also watched Cam take Carolina to the SB but how much did his career change when he went to the Pats? See how that works? You create a post just to rag on player on another team just because you hate. You love to do this stuff. I've seen it for a few years. You are one of the main problems on this site. Not just y0u but you're definitely one of them. This topic should be in the nfl general chat. As a mod I would think you would understand that but no. The mods need mods around here.  This is for Panther's material. Can a real mod move this thread to it's proper place please?
