Reign on me.
I’m getting that feeling as well. “It’s been nearly 3 weeks! He’s ready to go!”

Just retire Tua, we’ll always have week 2.

From a personal health standpoint, Tua should pull a Luck. The guys who are driven to be successful at this level aren't likely to walk away. Luck was a genius, and Tua won't do it.

Hopefully, he gets the rest he needs to not endanger himself in the short term, because he's a top tier long term risk. Every NFL player is a long term risk, but Tua is at the top.

Yeah. Clearly neither the dolphins nor the nfl are going to protect him, and football just isn’t worth living with years, or decades, of CTE.

Feel like we'll probably be seeing Tua by Week 6.

I think he will be very very lucky even to be able to do light cardio in two weeks, like even just physically capable of it. I really can’t overstate the seriousness of two significant closed head injuries within five days. This isn’t the worst-case scenario - in the worst-case scenario, he’d have a subarachnoid bleed and be dead or in a coma - but it’s catastrophically bad, like potentially career-ending.

The media went along with pushing Tua to play, which is fair point to make.

A day after being concerned with Tuas health and safety, Rich Eisen spoke with Tua and gave him props the energy he gave as “salty Tua” aka Tuas D minus version of a poo poo talker. He was pumping up the game. Zero questions asked about his health. That was the day before the game itself. If he was truly caring, like he pretended to the day after the game, wouldn’t that be a question you’d ask?

Every facet of this failed Tua, including the mindset that’s been driven into him to say silly poo poo like he’s still begging to start asap etc. These guys have a limited window and they can’t afford to stop, at least in the current nfl. Dolphins failed him, the nfl failed him, the media failed him, and outrage (genuine or not) won’t be enough

… nope. Pretty much all media did after they accepted the diagnosis.

Edit Her point really isn’t that difficult to comprehend, I just think a ton of folks are genuinely pretending this is somehow a dolphins problem and not an nfl problem.

Not the Buffalo media or Buffalo fans. We all knew he was concussed. A lot of "whiner line" calls to the post-game show were about how the Dolphins cheated to get Tua back into the game. How does it feel to be complicit in Tua's sacrifice?

I’m not sure you understand what the media is.

And also - it isn’t saying people were just denying he was concussed. It’s saying they accepted it and kinda just went back to business.

Kinda how like only one reported is mentioning Tee Higgins being concussed week 1, returned week 3 and taking this headshot https://youtu.be/3tfeJJGLe0M

The entire nfl is complicit in this and it’s genuinely starting to feel like not many folks seem to want to change it but maybe the nflpa does way more. The Tua thing was so blatant and gross it simply can’t be ignored so maybe there will be some real actual change.

I believe in one Lord Tua,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, one in being with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us Dolfans and for our salvation from Josh Allen
he came down from 'Bama,
and by the power of the Holy Spirit was born of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Mike McDaniel,
he suffered death at the hands of Buffalo and was buried,
and rose again on the FOURTH day
in accordance with the needs of Dolfans.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in reduced mental capacity due to CTE
to judge the living and the dead and throw the pigskin
and his kingdom will end as a wildcard, at best.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified,
who has spoken through the AFC East thread shitposters.

Amen

I hope he plays well but I expect overreactions to every series Zach plays. He’ll either be trash or The One with no in between.

I think we have a decent chance at winning though.
