    I feel so bad for Tua. I have had lots of concussions (I'm tall, clumsy, and have very little peripheral vision) I always took a very lackadaisical approach and mindset because I always recovered within a few weeks and didn't have lasting issues. . . Until I did. I received a severe concussion about 6 months ago and am still recovering. I'm working with a neurologist who has informed me that I will never recover 100% I've done 2 MRIs and they have found significant damage. The areas I'm seeing the biggest problems are memory, word recall, brain fog, and mood instability. I really hope someone sits Tua down and helps him understand the importance of protecting his head. People tried to do that with me, but I wouldn't listen. It's unfortunate that I ended up with permanent brain damage to make me recognize the severity of concussions.

      @@tomwest5107 I'm super clumsy and accident prone. I have poor eyesight with very limited peripheral vision and almost no depth perception. I have run full speed into tree branches, rear hatches on our minivan, I stood up really fast and hit the back of my head on the counter (I was mad I was told to do the dishes and was trying to get them done as quickly as possible and dropped a spoon) I got kicked in the head during a soccer game, 3 car accidents, ran full speed into a low beam under a bridge, got hit in the head with a baseball bat. Those are just some of the ones I remember. At one point I'd counted more than 10 times I'd hit my head hard enough to lose consciousness. I've had several since then so I'd guess 15-20. Not really sure anymore.

    I’ve noticed more of those helmet to turf concussions this year than ever. It’s insane to see it so frequently. Maybe they should bring back the neck guard or something, something that protrudes up from the back of the shoulderpads so that when the back of the helmet hits the ground there is some kind of padding there. I’m not sure why it’s become so prevalent this season though. Maybe it’s always been this common and it seems to be happening more because there’s a larger spotlight on concussion protocol and safety?

    I remember seeing the play even though there wasn't much emphasis on him slamming his head on the turf. My thinking is he's suffered way too much trauma in such a short time. I'm more concerned about his heath after football than if he plays football ever again. I know a football player wants to play football but I also hope that he has the support system that is just concerned for his health as I am.

Welker had 3 in 10 months with Denver at least 2 with the patriots and 1 with Miami that I can remember.. Favre had 3 documented but said he thinks he's had close to 1,000 in his career but really doesn't know.. that's how common concussions are in the nfl and in contact sports in general.. Cameron Brate multiple concussions over the last 2 years.. Donald Parham was shaking when he went out with a concussion vs kc and was out for most of the year last year then got another 1 this year in week 6 and was back in the lineup 2 weeks later.. not a peep.. Darius Leonard was put in protocols 2 games back to back this year and was diagnosed with 1 and has been out with a neck injury all year. those are just a few examples.. there has been 125 documented concussions this year in the nfl...it amazes me how many people "care" so much about Tua's concussions but don't mention a peep about anyone else's.. it's because he's a polarizing figure whether u like him or not and this guy's been praised and/or criticized by almost everyone in the media and by fans.. this started.way before the concussion happened.. if he farted people will wonder how it smelled.. not 1 media person brings up anyone else's concussion issues and it's because nobody wants to hear about buffalo's center, or the bucs 2nd string tight end.. who cares about a rookie in Pittsburgh.. trust me if every player's concussions were treated or spotlighted the way Tua's has this year..the the nfl probably wouldn't exist.. they pick and choose who to profile on these shows cause it gets them views and clicks which brings in money.. same people calling him trash say they care about his well being, his life and future..

    This reminds me of Jordan Reed. He had 7 concussions total in his college and nfl career, and 4 of those were in the nfl. His last concussion put him in protocol for 5+ months, where he retired shortly after being cleared. Usually 4 “diagnosed” concussions in a high-school Or collegiate career is enough to force someone to retire early. Very curious where this situation will lead. As an Athletic training student, typically we’d treat this as his “third” concussion and therefore hold him out for rest of season. His return to play process would also be drawn out for longer and he’d ofc have to be cleared by a doctor.

    Really like the insight. I think this one is on the staff as a whole since it is known that symptoms can be delayed. It comes across to me as prioritizing the sport over a player's health. Green Bay Packer player John Miont(?) took a helmet to helmet hit when he played in the 1970s. Doctors told him his choices on the next hit were paralysis or death. He chose to retire once cleared. He worked at the sports desk for Green Bay's Channel 11.

    I'm probably the biggest tua fan in all of Saskatchewan. Love the guy, would love to see him take this team through the playoffs, BUT, his health is far more important. I think he can still play football but he needs to be done for this season and maybe some or all of next considering the multiple concussions. He needs to make sure he feels safe continuing after that, and what he can do to prevent things like this. Hopefully he is very cautious because his long term health is more important than anything. I would imagine being a father makes him acutely aware of that. Football is a game that brings many people joy and a healthy escape but it means nothing in comparison to players lives and roles as people outside of the game. Love your take on this Brian you are always right on top of everything and cut straight to the point and share accurate information and clarify what is speculation and what is factually known

    Question for you. Hope you see this. I am an athletic trainer and am pursuing my DAT now. I will be starting my concussion and sport neurology specialization in March through my program, so concussions and management of concussions are very interesting to me. To my question, in school, a preceptor mentioned he read a study that found that concussion do not have lasting compounding effects of each is allowed to heal properly before sustaining another. What are your thoughts on this? I am trying to find that study to read for myself, but I know if I had a patient sustain more than two concussions, especially with severe symptoms like we have seen in Tua, I wouldn’t be clearing them to return that season.

    I was heartbroken when Steve Young chose to retire, against all his competitive instincts, because of his his history with concussions. He worked so hard and was such a great QB sitting on the bench for years behind Joe Montana, then he got out there and blazed like a star - like Jim Brown or Barry Sanders - and then in about a decade it was over. His numbers and his greatness still put him rightfully in the Hall. But even though it broke my heart to think “what if?”….I know 💯 he made the right decision. Football is a game. Life is far more precious. I wish the best for Tua and strongly feel he should not return this season.

      In my days, if you got your "bell rung" (they didn't call it a 'concussion'), the coach would hold up some fingers in front of your face, and if you were able to identify the correct amount of fingers, you were good to go. If you could not identify the correct number of fingers, then they'd splash some ice water on your face, make you inhale some ammonia, then they ask you to identify the number of fingers again. As soon as you're able to call out the correct number of fingers, you were good to go.

    A consideration I didn’t hear or see in comments is the fact it’s easier to get concussions the more you have and the less time between each one. Meaning, Tua is not only at higher risk for long term damage by having more concussions, but he’s also at higher risk to have more concussions since he’s had a t least two in 3 months. If it takes many months to recover from TBI and stroke, it seems no way would brain heal from multiple concussions in a couple months. Tua should shelve himself until next season so his brain can heal, work on ways to avoid hits in off season, or just retire. There is no shame in that.

It seems almost like Tua rolls before he impacts the ground. I don’t know that I can remember seeing another QB bang his head the exact same way so frequently. Am I crazy or do other people see it too?

    Needs to start a podcast on sports injury or just sports Tua has much love around the sports community plenty other routes he can take than being on the field could turn into a huge deal look at what pat McAfee has done and no disrespect to him but people didn't really know pat when he retired and now he's everywhere. With tuas popularity I'm sure he would have no issues finding a route off the field to take. Pray for a speedy recovery and praying for Tuas mental health i know he's gotta be Goin thru it right now. There's people rooting for you to do well best of luck Tua.

    Would the use of grass fields in place of turf lower the number of concussions in the NFL?
