If you’re a defender, you’re thinking I gotta be careful or I might kill this guy. Sure looks like his brain is broken.He got his money, he needs to retire before he shortens his life any more than he already has.
Absolutely agree .He got his money, he needs to retire before he shortens his life any more than he already has.
His family and doctors Fk the Dolphins or NFL doctors. Have to make the decision to call it.Can he really keep coming back from these? Hate to tell man when it’s over, but it might be over…
And these studies are probably ran by the doctors that treated Mike Webster and Junior Seau etc:: LOLDue to coaching I have to take annual concussion CTE training. Historically, the rule was after your third concussion, the athlete needs to retire. Beware, there are emerging studies out there allegedly funded by the NFL, NSL, et al., that propound that athletes can continue to come back from a third and even forth concussion and compete.
But it's funded by the NFL, so it should be legit.Due to coaching I have to take annual concussion CTE training. Historically, the rule was after your third concussion, the athlete needs to retire.

RetinaS? As in both eyes or same eye twice?. I had one last November. Really sucked.I think after 3 one should retire. I mean, I was questioning him coming back after the first two. Who here was thinking the same thing? Remember all three of his concussions looked really bad. It's kind of like me. I'm way too old to play contact football, but I've had detached retinas. There's no way I would jeopardize my vision, let alone the whole brain like it is with Tua.
easier to get and they get worse... have had 3 from football/bike accidents. third one was awful.Certainly wasn’t helmet to helmet but I believe concussions tend to be easier to get if one has a prior history.
I had a tear in one eye in 2015. They laser tacked it said it was good. Told me to come back in a month. I was at work almost 30 days later and I realized that I was experiencing the same symptoms. It was the same eye but the opposite corner. This time it was two small tears. So, I had to have the major operation. They laser tacked my eye once again, but I had major surgery the next morning. Had to put gas in my eye. That procedure made me need cataract surgery 6 months later. I already had the right eye done in 2010. But because they didn't do them close together they had to match up the eyes to the severely near-sighted eye. I am so effed today. LOLRetinaS? As in both eyes or same eye twice?.

I had the major one in my right eye. Face down for 2 weeks. Still got the bad cataract. Do not want to go through that again.I had a tear in one eye in 2015. They laser tacked it said it was good.

so sorry to hear that you're having problems with your eyes. That really sucks. I battle arthritis from all the "fun" I've had in my life and I would much rather deal with that than my eyesight.I had a tear in one eye in 2015. They laser tacked it said it was good.

Honestly, I buy that. I had 5 or 6 pretty bad concussions growing up and I'mDue to coaching I have to take annual concussion CTE training.

Agreed. For as much research as has been done on CTE, it would be criminally negligent to trot him out there again. It’s over dolphins. make a trade or draft your next quarterbackNFL and Dolphins are going to have a massive lawsuit on their hands if he continues to play. This guy is going to die on the field or become a vegetable at some point. His wife or parents needs to tell him to hang it up. He's already past the point of no return and hopefully he doesn't have too many issues later on in life, but I think he already will.
Somebody wanna check on this guy?Honestly, I buy that. I had 5 or 6 pretty bad concussions growing up and I'm
Oh yeah. The doctor said that because of that kind of surgery I'd probably have to have cataract surgery sooner or later. By the time 30 days rolled around I went in for my follow-up. Told the doctors, welp, it's going to be sooner rather than later. 5 months later I had the surgery for cataract in my left eye.I had the major one in my right eye. Face down for 2 weeks. Still got the bad cataract. Do not want to go through that again.
I don't have a whole lot wrong with me. But I do have arthritis in my right foot where the big toe enters the foot. I have the stretchy ligaments and because of it I developed arthritis in that big joint on the top of your foot where the big toe enters the foot. I used to run all the time and I can't anymore. Well, not without a lot of pain. I miss it.so sorry to hear that you're having problems with your eyes. That really sucks. I battle arthritis from all the "fun" I've had in my life and I would much rather deal with that than my eyesight.
It's ESPN. DEI at its finest and no one cares.... Their shows are unwatchable that have any of these women chiming in. The NFL shows are tolerable because most of the women just are facilitators. If they want to talk WNBA or other sports... Fine, but otherwise I don't need their opinion. This isn't just for women either. Guys like Greeny, who are huge pussies and have never played a sport, I tune out as well.Ummm. OK?
It's all about me!Ummm. OK?
It's all about me!
Already was! Like I'm glad he got to finally have a pretty awesome full season last year. But he should've been retired alreadyAgreed.

But if he retires the guaranteed money is also voided the way I read it .If a player retires (as i always understood it anyway), his salary no longer counts against the cap....will Tua do that? I doubt it. The Dolphins obviously aren't going to cut him. So my guess is (since Tua holds all the cards with that massive contract he juat signed) ..they negotoate a buyout/retirement and everyone wins. My guess is he's played his last down of football...at least I hope so.
