The right move by the Dolphins

Absolutely.

I feel bad for this young player who clearly is talented but fragile.

Hope for his sake he's not done as a result of this latest concussion.

He really needs to sit with his doctor(s) and family members to figure out his future. It could very well be that football should be behind him now.

I feel bad for the guy.

IIRC that was the knock on him coming out of college. Already had an issue with concussions. Thats a BIG risk to take. If I were a GM it's an automatic no go.

What I can’t wrap my head around is that MIA QB coach isn’t preaching for him to slide. Like he voluntarily took that hit, bent down into it, and received the full brunt of the hit. Which was hardly even a hit by Hamlin. Imagine if it was a bam bam kam hit, Tua would be laying under a grave stone rn lol. That play never should’ve happened. All his other concussions were a bit fluke-ish but this one was entirely on his inability to protect himself. I blame the QB coach for 80% and tua for 20%

Health comes first. You can't get your brain back.

Are today's QB's over-paid? It's market and I understand that but.....

Just a few months ago, Tagovailoa and the Dolphins agreed to a four-year, $212.4 million contract extension, with $167 million guaranteed, that made him one of the highest-paid players in NFL history........“If he’s medically forced into retirement, he has a right to collect the $124 million remaining,” said Michael Ginnitti, co-founder of Spotrac, a website that monitors sports contracts.

This probably sounds terrible but, if I’m Tua, I’m collecting the check and calling it a day.

Our two most precious commodities are health and time. If you’re reading this, you’ll never be younger than you were just moments ago. Good health can extend time.

Life’s too precious.

In a real way. It's easy for me to say, but if I was up 100mil facing life or death, then I'm like Kip on Napoleon Dynamite
