The nfl is a multi billion dollar business.  Having tua get paralyzed, die etc on the field would be a catastrophe for them.

Tua stinks and the Dolphins are an irrelevant franchise.

Why would the nfl take even the littlest chance on this.

There is 0 benefit for the nfl to ever let him play again.  But a very probable pr and financial nightmare if they do.

They did let Hamlin back and he did in fact die on the field.

Greed/stupidity knows no boundries.

Tuas injuries are happening because of football. 

 

Hamlins single episode is happened while he was on a football field. 

 

Completely different scenarios here.

Not debating although does that happen to Hamlin without the hit?

my point of responding is trusting the nfl to do the right thing.

most prob feel Tua should retire.

not sure the nfl would be 100% in step especially if there is a doc that clears him

If he’s medically cleared at some point I don’t think NFL can force him out

Then the nfl should release a memo saying they recommend he retire but he declined and there is nothing they can do.

They need to get out in front of this cause if he plays again, he will get concussed, he will have that seizure type reaction and this time, he might not get up.

A multi billion dollar business cannot take this risk w/ such a mediocre player on an irrelevant team.

Good call there will definitely be a “memo to file” in the legal department filing cabinet

They've got 10 days till their next game - he could maybe even be ready to go for Week 3, at least as the backup, if they sign him today.

 option that might be better is Josh Dobbs.  He has worked with McDaniels before so he already knows some of their playbook and he’s intelligent enough to learn the rest on the fly.  He’s 3rd on the 49ers depth chart so he would only cost a late round pick

Ah yes, good call!  Didnt think about him.

On the other hand, who’s the independent neurologist that’s going to look at Tua’s history and be like “oh hell yeah you can keep playing”?

Doctors are very gun shy.  They are all terrified of getting sued.  The dolphins team physician can’t get sued personally for this but he could lose job with the dolphins and get a complaint filed with the state licensing committee by the NFLPA

Have they called Denver about Zach Wilson?  I heard that guy who's never developed a QB at any level in his life has him really seeing the field these days.

@WestCoastMole

BTW The most logical choice for Miami to sign for a replacement for Tags is Jimmy Garoppolo. But the Phish can't talk to him until after he completes his 2 Game Suspension which ends Sunday Night.

The NFL would have to have their own set of doctors review Tua's health and make a recommendation.  I don't know for sure but I don't think that's how the league operates.  Pretty sure it's up to team doctors and then Tua has to make the decision to keep playing.
