Tua Status for Sunday

[Woodman]

It’s not the team the lawyers go after for concussions, it’s not the teams that set the protocols and it’s not the team that decides if a player goes back in according to some here. It’s the independent doctors governed by the NFL’s policies. So if the doctor gives the thumbs up after a player passes the concussion protocol, they can play in the next game of go back in.

[Woodman]

we all kinda hope he makes some decisions with his life and future in mind. As a bills fan i'd love to see Morse play, however, as a human being i really hope someone sits down with him and talks to him about his future and CTE, and he make some hard decisions. If that means early retirement, I'll be a bit releaved.

Tua is starting to remind me of Chris Chandler. That poor bastard had a concussion issue (and an injury issue), and never could get a full season under his belt without collecting a couple of them (injuries and or concusions) and the concusions were a bad issue, the dude would try to play through it while he was getting his brains beaten into portage.

I have a feeling if Tua insists in playing in the NFL, his career arc will end up much like Chris Chandlers.

All concussed players make the decision that's best for themselves and their families.

There's supposed to be life after football.

Got it weekend at Tua's

How is Mitch Morse doing by the way? As long as we're talking about teams not caring about concussed players.

I think every poster on this board cares about Mitch Morse. And no one is clammering for him to play no matter what. If he retires at the end of the year most of us will be relieved. To me it's questionable whether Morse should be out there. But if he had the same recent history as Tua with 3 concussions in 3 months it would not make one bit of sense for him to be playing period. Is that clear enough?

If it is up to the players, it is up to their situation. Tua is a young player who hasn't got paid. Financial and alpha dog mentality (for these NFL player) wise, he would want to play in his first playoff game, unless he's not in time to clear.

I have a feeling Morse will stick around at least one more year, even the Bills would go on to win a superbowl this year. I listened to his interview before the Bengals game when he came back from the concussion. You can tell he's at peace with his decision and he calmly mentioned his family is at peace with this decision. He signed 2 year extension. I feel he plays at least one more season if not both.

I know things change every year and you never know about injury. But I just feel the best shot this Bills team at superbowl was last year and will be next year. Last year they peaked at the right time. Next year they will have marginal contributors this year - Cook, Shakir, Davis entering contract year, Spencer Brown, Elam, White - potentially stepping up to another level. This year unfortunately we have too many injuries and transitions (coaches, and rookies reliance), and we still have a good shot of going all the way.

Imagine that, he's out.

[Woodman]

Right decision.

[Bill Cody]

Right decision.

100%

Just an update. Tua remains in concussion protocol… how many weeks out?

Oof. Since 12/26, so 4 and counting.

Just looked it up, Kevin Kolb retired after his last one took him 6 weeks to recover from.

[YardRat]

Yeah it's been a decent amount of time.

Apparently his parents said he was planning on playing next year.

I'll set the over under at 6.5 games played before the season ends.

I'll set the over under at 6.5 games played before the season ends.

But Tua's concussion risk will be severely diminished when sitting on the bench behind Tom Brady.

Thing is, who is going to pay him now? Allen, Mahomes, Watson, Murray- all these guys are getting well north of $40 mil a year, most are over $45 mil a year. Who is going to take that risk on Tua knowing that he could retire or have his career ended at any time?

[Woodman]

As far as Brady goes.
Dolphins Raiders or retire?
Tua don't listen to mom and dad.
