^^ My dad had career ending/life threatening concussions at UNC. They told him one more head shot and he'd likely die on the field. Took away his scholarship and sent him packing. He's 63 now, was suicidal and depressed for a good 20 years, and forgets my name half the time I talk to him.

Yeah there are extreme cases like that.

What we're talking about is a guy who didn't have that, he was concerned and decided to call it quits. There wasn't some traumatic nearly dying on the field hit. It's one step away from laughing at the Lions player who was paralyzed on the field years ago. Locketts injury was brutal and he can't even move his neck right.


The "joke" Chree pulled up wasn't even about dude specifically, it was about that god awful off season the niners had when like 6 guys retired!

He is hungry for attention, and y'all keep feeding him.

Stop feeding the attention whore

Fixed. Sorry about your father.

^^ It's all good and thank you.

Normally I'd agree with you on this - especially from a fan point of view. But I've seen enough BS related to concussions that I'd rather just give anybody the benefit of the doubt. If a player wants to retire early and protect his body for whatever reason, its nobody else's decision to question. Unless he's on the Ravens. Then fuck him.

 

[GTS]

i had 4 concussions from football, and i was told by doctors senior year college that one more could also be lights out
shit ain't no joke
speech, memory, headaches, sensitive to light
not sure if it was worth a free education, but i had fun in college and i'm still alive so i'm ok

 

[Mr. Nice Guy]

Just saw Walter Thurmond retired. Too bad, he played well last season and I was hoping he would make his way back here.

 

[BUTCHER 206]

RUSS-ELL WIL-SON! RUSS-ELL WIL-SON! RUSS-ELL WIL-SON!

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

Russell Wilson has MVP potential...

Borland has had 12 concussions...

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

Borland has had 12 concussions...

And that still has nothing to do with what 2-0 posted.

Borland is a smart dude...he knew the dangers and bounced. You trying to make it like we laughed at him on the field while he lie dead is just you trying to troll. Cut the crap.

He had this twitter pic for a long time:

 

[Mr. Nice Guy]

I haven't been this excited about a season since I can remember.

Jarran Reed already making news
Frank Clark ready to break out
Tharold Simon healthy
Brandon Browner back
Chris Clemons back
Extreme depth at RB
Alex Collins Beast 2.0
Jimmy Graham healthy
Russell got his masters in QB
Doug Baldwin still angry

 

[2-0-Sixx]

Not only is Simon healthy I hear he's looking good and in great shape. Fourth year now hopefully he's matured. I'd love for him to win the starting job, I still have faith in the guy his size and athleticism are there, just needs to stay healthy and mentally "get it".

Jarran Reed already making news
Frank Clark ready to break out Agree
Tharold Simon healthy Healthy? yes. Any better? We will see.
Brandon Browner back Meh
Chris Clemons back Meh
Extreme depth at RB None of it proven, though.
Alex Collins Beast 2.0 Nah, not really. He cant break tackles very well
Jimmy Graham healthy Meh
Russell got his masters in QB Yup
Doug Baldwin still angry Yup

 

[Mr. Nice Guy]

Sherman and Simon on the corners. Jeremy Lane playing nickel. Browner playing hybrid corner/safety to stop the run and cover TEs. Deshawn Shead ready to break out.

That's a dope secondary.
