Didn't Know We Had this Many MDs In Here

He looked concussed but he was cleared, and Kirby says it was only a shoulder stinger. Still, he wasn't the same with two INTs & a fumble. I think you’ll see fewer designed runs and Gunner will start protecting the ball first. Conservative Gunner incoming

As with most things in medicine, the presentation of a concussion isn't cut and dried. Signs and symptoms may not appear immediately, can even take days to become obvious. I'm sure that Gunner did not initially show signs of a concussion on the sideline or they would've held him out. That doesn't necessarily mean he couldn't have been experiencing cognitive issues as the game progressed. Maybe they checked him throughout the game too.

I do know that Gunner's suffered a lot of hard hits during the last two years. His quarterbacking style is sort of dependent on his threat to run, but he's not an elusive runner so he gets hit hard on a regular basis. It's part of the game, but he seems to take more blows to the head than your average quarterback. That has a cumulative effect on his body and his brain. I respect his dedication to UGA and his teammates, but as a parent I would be concerned.

Gunner will stop forcing balls into coverage and avoid unnecessary contact, and he'll save the hero runs for game winning drives Conservative Gunner incoming.

By this point Gunner definitely knows the questions on the test. He's been there and done that. NFL players cheat the test all the time so they can stay in the game.

And it's also like OP posted about the timing of symptoms and severity.

Obviously I don't know what happened. But the situation with the team doctors and the decisions might've been been more nuanced than what you posted and not that simple.

Why didn't all these doctors (surely they aren't just nurses aides emptying bedpans) speak up during that 2nd TD series when Gunnar hit some great passes en route to that TD run?

Intermittency is actually a classic indication of swelling above the frontal cicatic lobe of the human brain. Its the area of the brain that controls impulse and other decision making functions. As the fluid builds up and increases pressure, decision making is affected. Your body cant allow the pressure to build too high though, so we have whats called a carplankton petuitary valve which drains some of the residual fluid and also releases a hormone called terpnipidazoid which helps tissue absorb the excess fluid. Long story short, it was likely that the carplankoid petuitary valve was doing its thing while Gunner returned to normal and before the fluid swelled back up in the fourth quarter

Record number of batted or tipped passes. Some weren't close. not sure what the right answer was. it's his team.
