re: Alabama Players in the NFL and Pro Football Discussion: Off Season or until deleted

It's disgusting the rant is a cesspool and I pretty much only come to the Alabama page

I'm going to give a different perspective for the whole Tua playing situation. For 2 years plus, the national media has bashed Tua for every move he has made. He has finally played his way into the spotlight as a legit NFL starter, gloated by some of the media as a future MVP player. If he doesn't play last night he will be bashed for weeks about how he is too fragile; so he plays, takes a nasty head injury, and now the same talking heads are saying that he should have never gone out there, the NFLPA should sue the league and the dolphins ect. The same ones screaming for accountability, in my mind, are likely apart of the reason he was out there to begin with. I realize players say they don't pay attention to the media or external factors, but in the world of social media where everyone has a platform, it isn't possible that he is so oblivious, he doesn't know what people are saying about him. He is also a competitor, and a tough dude; if he gets cleared to play he is going to play, unless someone intervenes for him. Mix that competitive drive with the idea of shutting up the haters, and you got a guy that is out there, maybe when he shouldn't have been.

No matter what, he’ll have some head issues after this last injury. I know he’s a competitor but to live a life with migraines sucks. I’d go back to the islands and enjoy life doing something else.

I had two concussions in my teens from football and a car wreak and had migraines into my thirties. Head trauma stays with you.

Jacoby for Cleveland is such a bad qb

That pf on the punt return tackle was pathetic. He was getting facemasked before he made the tackle.

Patriots needed this. Minimize turnovers and pull Green Bay down into the mud and make them slug it out.

Not pretty, but gives them a chance.

Belichick gave the game away in OT by being too conservative.
