WizardHawk Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Tua’s career is going to be short lived at this rate. Dude can’t take a hit anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s is his 5th (maybe 4th) 2019 college season, sustained a concussion against Mississippi State. 2022 suffered 3 concussions (maybe 2): week 3 against Bills and again in week 4 against Bengals. Some believe the 2 back to back concussions where from same event, but others remain adamant he suffered 2 distinct concussion events. And then Tua re-entered concussion protocol on Christmas Day week 16 game against Green Bay after failing cognitive tests after the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to look long term at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at this point he’s screwed long term already. Might as well see it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s had three (and some argue four) in the NFL, but this is his fourth (or fifth) in the last five years. He had one in 2019 as a senior at Alabama. Once you eclipse three, the risks of getting more are significantly higher, with greater degrees of damage, and longer recovery times. He needs to be very careful if he wants to continue playing in the NFL. Edited September 14 by plan9misfit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The physical distortion/fencing were quite obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Slamman Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Honestly, what purpose could Tua accomplish playing another down in the NFL? Dude is already set for life. At this point, it’s all risk with virtually no reward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the state of Miami's OL the next concussion will come sooner rather than later. Tua needs to give serious thought to walking away.

He might not walk away from the next one…so he really needs to consider doing it while he still can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, it’s all risk with virtually no reward. If he still loves playing the game, the hard part will be accepting the fact that his body isn’t allowing him to. I think it centers more around that and not wanting to feel like he’s letting his team down than it does about the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s my concern as well. As @WizardHawk mentioned, the fencing is a dead giveaway of something serious. I’d be afraid that his quality of life may be impacted if he gets another one.
