That's a pretty big...and silly...assumption.

It's just as viable as anything else being tossed around right now.

So the possible conclusion here is that he passed the protocol and the team decided to put him back in.

If so, then it IS on the team. He may have cleared the protocol but there still has to be some common sense applied.

Oh because players don't do everything they can to return to the field, including lying about their symptoms, eh?

The idea that a player could pass the tests and lie and STILL have had head trauma just doesn't register as possible to you?

Your post above pretty much contradicts your other post saying that such a thing isn't reasonable, so ok.

Agreed.

Assuming that the independent neurologist hired to examine players didn't do an exam and instead just said "good enough for me" after Tua told him "I'm good" seems pretty ridiculous.

Im obviously paraphrasing here dude, jesus christ.

Yes, Cosmo. I think the doctor said, "you good bro? Cool, now go win one for the gipper!"

I really don't think I read too much into what you wrote. My bad, I guess.

That is how I see it too. The doctors have a minimum standard based on really imperfect information. But the team should know better. Putting him back in the game is one thing but throwing him back in on a short week for a mostly meaningless regular season game is something else entirely. And it’s not helping matters that McDaniel insists on playing completely by the book that just because he received clearance they are totally in the clear. No, a team can and should exercise precautions.

I just hope Chris Jones hits Brady so hard, that Tom throws up gang signs.
