And it sure as hell ain't from the Baylor coaching or medical staff. Got his head slammed into the turf in Big 12 championship game. Got sent off. later, comes back obviously OK by the medical and coaching staff. White hat saw he was not functioning well and sent him off again. He playing tonight. Someone asked him if he was concerned because it was his 3rd concussion. He answers no. Son, you need to give up the game otherwise you keep banging your melon, by the time you are 40 you won't know what day it is, eating through a straw, paying someone to change your drawers.

A similar refrain to your post to Brandin Cooks. Long distance diagnoses are typically difficult. Probably best left to a doctor in person.

That's exactly why he needs an adult in his life to see he gets the evaluation he needs. I repeat, two weeks ago Baylor medical, training, and coaching staffs sent him back out to play and it was obvious to a layman official that he was not right and was sent off the field. he needs an adult to help him. Concussions are cumulative in nature not one offs and you are healed.

Concussions are cumulative in nature not one offs and you are healed. That’s incorrect actually. Damage occurs due to Secondary Impact Syndrome, getting a second concussion (or more) before the first one is healed. It sounds like the Baylor staff was not on the ball in regards to that in the Championship game. He and his parents should have insisted after that game that he had to get cleared by an independent doctor. That’s not really uncommon. If he’s playing now with an unhealed concussion, that’s bad, I agree. But to say from thousands of miles away without knowing all the details that he should quit before he becomes a drooling, non-functioning person seems over the top to me. He’s been playing football a long time and he and his parents should know what’s up. That’s all. |

They say that football in the south is a religion. More like a cult. |
