Kid is first class.

First class and tough as nails. If they let him, I guarantee he would play next Sunday against the Jets.
I say they give him the week and he is back against Minnesota.

We still don't have any more info than that it was a head and neck injury, do we?Irishman likes this. -
I can't believe the concussion is that serious is that he was released from the hospital in an hour and made the flight home, seemingly as McDaniel said, his normal self.
There are guys playing right now that have had two concussions this season. See Tee Higgins, he missed a game early in the year with a concussion and was absolutely crushed helmet to helmet last week against the Jets, no concussion. Right. He looked pretty good last night.Two Tacos likes this. -
I'd say we give him two weeks off and he comes back after that. We can win in the short term with Bridgewater. I actually liked what I saw out of him last night up until he threw the pick on what would have been a game winning drive for us.

I honestly fear seeing the dude get paralyzed the next time he gets a big hit. -
Enough with the "paralyzation" dramatics.Irishman likes this. -
It doesn't matter what the facts are, just the optics. Neither the NFL nor the Dolphins is going to let Tua back in for some time after the optics of what happened. He's gone a minimum of 4-6 games IMHO and they'll probably put him on IR.

Tua is already itching to get back on the field, as soon as a doctor clears him, he will be the starting quarterback. It will be sooner than you think. -

That sounds like a farewell. Better this than him in wheelchair. Good kid. Time for fins to move on.

Can someone reach out to don Beebe to see if Tua can borrow his helmet? ♂️

It's like you guys are ignoring what you saw. He was taken off ON A STRETCHER.
We've all seen guys get concussions. Never looked like that.
You guys are crazy to minimize this, and this has nothing to do with my thoughts about Tua as a QB.Irishman, Tin Indian and Sceeto like this. -
It's wishful thinking and I understand it. Tua being out for likely most of the season means our playoff chances are practically nil. I WISH I could retreat into denial about this because honestly I am about ready to give up on watching football. Period. I've been watching this team since I was in first grade, almost 50 years, and the last time we made the SB, I was 18 freaking years old. Barely. The last time we made the AFC Championship game, I was in my early 20s. The last time we won a playoff game, my 19-year-old daughter wasn't even born. The last time we MADE the playoffs, she was in middle school. The last time we had a dynamic offense was nearly 20 years ago.
This year, we pull a bunch of talent together under a young and innovative coach...and then our team gets embarrassed by multiple scandals and loses a first round draft pick. And then our QB goes down for likely the year.

It's not complicated. Unless your whole MO is to obfuscate and pretend you're not smart enough to figure it out on your own. -
Find one post that equates last night with a headache and I'll apologize for suggesting you're intentionally trying to kick up dust. -

And, what other teams do with their injuries doesn't really matter to me. Error on the side of caution. Long term goals with Tua.resnor likes this. -
Imagine being this ignorant and stupid. lol -
I think it's a fair statement to say that we all want Tua to play. We've seen things out of him this season that we've not seen in his previous 2 seasons...and he's shown he can indeed be that franchise quarterback everyone's been wanting.
I think its also a fair statement to say that we don't want to see hm get hurt either. Seeing Tagovailoa's fingers going all crooked in what looked like a bit of a seizure (at least in my untrained eye) was quite the scary moment.
Tua either had or is scheduled to have an MRI and I guarantee you he's receiving the finest medical care that money can buy. I'm quite certain he's going to be run through a gambit of tests. As I said earlier, no two concussions are alike therefore, there is no set time frame for recovery and clearance.
Everyone needs to settle down on all of the hyperbole. None of us are neurologists. Tua may have suffered a severe brain injury. Tua may have just had his bell rung. We don't know. I know we all hope he is medically cleared as soon as possible so he can play, but I think I can say that none of us want him to be cleared too soon either, risking possible injury again.
How soon is too soon? I don't know...and neither do any of you. So everyone just sit back, take a chill pill, relax and let the medical professionals do their job...and say a prayer for one of our beloved Dolphins. -

I think it’s sad that the Tua haters immediately lined up saying it’s season ending. It’s almost like they hate the kid so much they want him out at all costs. I just don’t hit it. I know the Tua lovers were so entrenched in their position the “other side” is just pathetic.

Next is they're going to want to be right about his head. They can't wait for another concussion. -

The kid already said he doesn't want to miss any games. When he is medically cleared, shortly, who the hell are you to say what the extreme risks are to his body. You don't know anything.
