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.

I'm still suffering from mine from like 3 years ago. It comes and goes randomly.

Prayers for the kid.

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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
