Have you had a concussion before? My old lady wants me to see a Dr I told her no not much they could do.

How it happened you ask well my dumbass got up quick and turned around and slammed the side of my head on a wooden shelf in this small closet area this is the only 2nd time in my life I have seen stars like that, I have this huge knot/cut on the side of my head and I keep getting terrible headaches this happened yesterday.

. I feel like a real NFL player.

I've had a few. I was a small-time pro wrestler for 5 years and concussions are inevitable.

If it's been over 24 hours and you're still having headaches, you should probably go see a doctor.

There may not be a lot they can do to fix it, but you may have done more damage than you realize. A doctor will likely run some rudimentary tests (follow my finger with your eyes, look into the light to test pupil dilation, etc.) to make sure you don't need further medical attention. Supposing that comes out clear, they'll just send you home and tell you to take it easy.

Just out of curiosity, have you thrown up or had any issues with speech, motor skills, or any other irregular symptoms?

I've had two - I lost consciousness on the first one, but the second one was worse. My friends thought I was gonna die on the spot. It's true there's not a whole lot doctors can do, but there are some things you can do. For one, get off the computer or phone... don't try to read at all for a few days.

Ive never had one headache in my life and I can slam my head on anything as hard as I possibly can and not feel any pain or have side effects. Either I'm a super hero or I have a serious problem

attempt a backwards somersault and land flush on the back of your head. that'll do it.

I've had quite a few.

I think that some folks are just more prone to them than others.

Trying to take it easy now, just not worth it.

Lot's of them playing football, a few more snowboarding, a couple wake boarding, and the worst was a fall off of a ladder and I hit my head on a window sill on the way down. Knocked out for at least 15-20 minutes. Couldn't remember what I was doing or where I was.

I've had one pretty serious concussion. It was raining and I was running from outside into my garage. I was wearing cheap flops and when I hit the concrete floor I slid and fell backwards. The back of my head slammed on the concrete floor. When I came to everything was in slow motion. I had a semi paralysis thing going on where I couldn't gain control of my body. Similar you when you are very drunk while trying to get up off the ground. I remember just laying there with my arms and legs randomly moving in all the wrong directions. It affected my speech, thinking and reasoning. I would think one thing but when I would try to say it, it would come out all wrong. Sometimes I would forget where I was going or how I got there. It took a good 6 months to recover from it.

I was like that for a while after my second. I sometimes still have episodes where I talk like a stroke patient. My short term memory went from bad to that fish on Finding Nemo. If I don't write it down, it's probably not getting done later. And I can't remember names now to save my life. I can usually remember faces, but I have to fake the funk remembering who a person is. I feel like a dick asking someone their name after knowing them for several weeks.

Been knocked out twice...once due to an on-field collision playing soccer (13-14). I immediately went down...woke up and buddies standing over me. Collided so hard the eyebrow muscle split and they had to open me up and sew the muscle...then the outside. 35 microstitches.

Second was car wreck...no seat belt (17yo). I glanced off the steering column and hit the windshield with my jaw. Broke the windshield. I "woke up" and walked the rest of the way home. Both instances I should've gotten an evaluation, but this was the early-mid 80s. I have short term memory issues at times. Migraines from time to time, but I associated them with seasonal allergy issues.

I've done stupid things where I take a shot now and then where I see stars from time to time, but I have to just sit and sometimes lie down. Either way...if you get knocked to the point your brain rattles around and decides to shut you down for a bit. Take it seriously.

I suffered 4 concussions my Sophomore year of football. Missed my junior year due to Post Concussion Syndrome. To this day, that was the worse day of my life and i've been through a lot physically.

If you can stand, walk, talk and move around without feeling like someone just punched you in your gonads but you also feel it in your head, then you should be ok.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      It all sounds great. The only unknowns are injuries and how they will need to be addressed. Horn has a history as does the newly added Jaelen Phillips and Cooker has yet to play an entire season as well. And then there are the Ikey's - totally unexpecteded injuries that put a major wrench in your plans. I do think its a great plan though.

      If we pay Bryce like a franchise QB we're completely and utterly buttfuged.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      In my view, the realistic expectation for this team to compete will start 2027.  At that time, I think we could be looking at the following (this is HIGHLY speculative):   QB:  You know, Bryce.  I am not a fan, but they don't ask me.  But there is reason for hope--and here it is.  Bryce will be entering his prime.  Since we are likely to pay him, there will be changes that I include throughout this exercise--I realistically speculate on what they are going to do with Bryce and then I realistically speculate on what means in terms of the cap and other positions. Bryce HAS IMPROVED.  The idea is that if you give him more weapons and protection, that will continue.  His career:   At this rate, if his growth continues, by 2027 we should expect nearly 30 TDs and about 12 Interceptions and a Rating of about 98.  His completion percentage should settle at 65-66% or so.  If that happens, you can win with it. The following stats demonstrate how the Panthers will be able to afford it (and re-sign Ickey) My guess is they will require about $60m per year. This is why rookies who can play are important.  It also helps us see the blueprint.  You may disagree, but this is the cruel realities of the salary cap. Robert Hunt:  Cut post June 1 and save $19m.  Who do you replace him with?  Ickey. Tershawn Wharton:  Cutting him saves nearly $15m.  We should all hope to see Aaron Hall (UDFA) make the roster and play well.  Regardless, this is a position we would likely have to address in the next draft. Trevin Moehrig:  Cutting Moehrig as the starting SS saves this team $16.5m.   Ransom will be on year 3 of a cheap rookie deal and should be more than ready to take the reins.  their styles are similar.  Furthermore, FS Wheatley (R, 4th round) will be starting. Taylor Moton:  So much depends on his knee, but I have an idea that he can play another 3 years.  extending him could save the team about $5m per year.  Cutting him outright would save the team about $21m. In the most drastic situation, we have to cut Moton and the other three players mentioned.   We would need (in all likelihood) a starting DT and RT.  It is possible that the DE would be addressed, but Wharton's production (so far) could be equaled by a rookie.  Look for a cut free agent and a 2027 draft pick here.  If you cut Moton, you save $21m, and that would be the only big hole to fill.  Having Ickey at RG gives you some depth at T, and Ickey could be the guy.  T could be pick in the 2027 draft (first round), fwiw.  It saves you $21m while costing you $5m, for example. We get younger, creating a core of Freeling, Hecht, and the RT first rounder in 2027) along with Ekownu (second contract in the $15m range, and Lewis, whose contract would be in the $16m range if not extended.)  The OL cuts (Hunt, Moton) would save $40m.  The OL would get younger and still solid with veterans at G.   By cutting Wharton (no brainer if his play stays the same) and Moehrig (good player--but we have Ransom on a rookie contract who would not be that much of a drop off--if any) in addition to Hunt and Moton, we would save over $70m in cap room. We would be able to give Bryce bag  and we would have enough to re-sign Ickey (if the knee is not too risky) to a Guard contract (probably at a discount, coming off that injury).  Furthermore, we could add a RT in the draft (or a RG if Ickey moves to RT) and that would be the only large hole to fill. Correct my logic if you see issues-- On defense, in addition to the aforementioned, Scott ($2m contract) is out, replaced by a 4th round rookie contract. CB Jackson's contract ($7.8m) expires and he is (possibly) replaced by a rookie contract.  At Edge, patrick Jones II's $10m contract expires and he is likely a reserve, and his role is absorbed by Phillips, Scourton, Princely, and possible an UDFA like Isaiah Smith or a 2027 draft pick.   These productive developmental players over the past 2 drafts will pay huge dividends.  On paper, I see the team getting much younger and possibly better while cutting nearly $100m and reallocating that money to get more production.
