It’s a second concussion, so not great but not really close to retire over stage. If you think two is retirement range, a third of the NFL shouldn’t be on the field


Kind of where I’m at. He just needs to protect himself and start throwing the ball away.

If he gets a few more it’s time to start looking for the door, I think it depends on the person but a few more on a higher degree and his quality of life is going to diminish quickly.

You should consider retiring from starting threads.

Some athletes have head to toe fragile bodies.
Unfortunately, Tua's one of those guys. He's already had multiple injuries at a young age. Concussions now becoming the latest issue.
He missed quite a few games at Bama.
Missed quite a few in Miami as well.
Great talent, fun to watch, fragile body.

Tua’s drawing some weird drama about it though.


I think it's most likely due to his previous injury history. He hurt his knee in his sophomore year of college, in his junior year he suffered a high ankle sprain as well as a dislocated hip, and now in the pros he's suffered through two concussions (one of which looked really scary) in the same season. There has always been a narrative about whether or not his body could sustain the intensity of the NFL.

Tua’s injuries have already taken away from his physical abilities. Remember the cannon he had his Freshman year when he would come in and the first half of 2018? Then he started accumulating all of these lower body injuries and his arm isn’t nearly as strong because of it

Yes. Tua should retire at the end of the year.

It sounds crazy but he definitely needs to seriously consider it.
