Tua is done

They already have a pension plan
The thing that gets me about this Tua situation is....coach gave a press conference, pundits and analyst are giving their two cents. Monday morning quarterbacks are saying what should or shouldn't have been done. My thing is.....why haven't we heard from Tua? Some bullshit statement in the beginning, but that was it. If he was really okay and no brain damage, as the Dolphins want you to believe, they would have had him had a press conference or something where you would hear him speak and can physically see if his good. It's because...he's not good! If he's not on the sidelines on Sunday, then you know what's up.

Ex-All Pro WR Brandon Marshall Shares Frightening Concussion Story: ‘Couldn’t Tie My Shoes’ (VIDEO)
October 7, 2022by Darrelle Lincoln
Since the Tua head injury controversy, it has brought out an important conversation from current and former players of this violent sport.
Former All-Pro wide receiver Brandon Marshall revealed on Thursday that quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is not the only player that has been kept in a game by the Dolphins organization in the past despite some clear concussion-like symptoms.
Marshall spoke about his history of concussions over his NFL career, and he detailed an incident where he stayed quiet about a concussion he suffered because his contract ran up at the end of the 2010 season while with the Dolphins.
“I had the feeling that if I came out of the game, I wasn’t going to get the contract that I am working towards right now,” said Brandon Marshall on the Up & Adams Show. “I was in a contract year, and a linebacker took my head off.
“The first thing on my mind was stay here on a knee and collect yourself. If I get up and make one stumble, I am in the protocol. Now I am going to miss out on a $50 million contract. When I got drafted, my mom was in a motel. My sister had two kids and was struggling. So I played through it and ended up getting a big deal.”
Marshall continued to describe the aftermath of that concussion.
“For the next two or three weeks after that hit, I couldn’t close my eyes without stumbling. I couldn’t tie my shoes, and I didn’t let anyone know.”
Tua came into the 2022 season knowing he had to show the team he could be the guy or he could find himself on another team and possibly playing as a backup. This explains why Tagovailoa wanted to play in the game following his infamous head injury turned back injury.
The culture surrounding getting that next big deal will make players take chances with their health and not think about the long-term effects of it.
The way OJ Simpson talks football and remembers the names and the exact plays and his statement that you don't have to land on your head or hit your head to get a concussion, his analysis is on point always.
Dude is dope
Who, the NFL commissioner that sees nothing wrong?
Can you give me a physical thru the internet too?If Tua gets another concussion his career's over.
Can you give me a physical thru the internet too?
No because I'm guessing this is what you want.
Well I've never had a physical where the doctor wants to stick fingers in my ass. I don't know physicals you been getting

And that's why people die from prostate cancer.
Move on, you started off with a foolish bad joke that you didn't think about before you hit reply.
One week Tua fell out on the field from a concussion and they said it was his back.
The second time his lost all brain function leaving his hands and body contorted in weird positions.
They next time might be worse and the Dolphins will look foolish and careless if they ever put him on the field again.
That's why I said his career would be over because any team would be viewed as careless and callous to put him on the field again.
Now go play with someone else because I'm not in the mood.
