The new Era of the NFL.

Keenan Lewis thought he was ok...

Keenan Lewis also said he didn't have a concussion, and did.

Precisely why Keenan Lewis is not allowed to make that call, and why the call has to be in the hands of a Physician and not a coach or a player.

SaintsBro - The teams already have a Doctor that travels with them. In regards to your last sentence..... Do you trust a Physician that may or may not be ethical or a cluster-phuck of a head Coach like Greg Shiano?

And that is all.

When it comes to this stuff I look forward to his take on it because I just knew he would not agree to throwing someone right back in the game after a head injury.

Again, thank you for informing us feeble minds... I am not 13 years old - I know the teams have a physician that travels with them. My point WAS -- it's foolish to think as you seem to do, that a physician is inherently somehow more ethically pure or infallible to corruption or temptation. They are human. And not all at the same level of competence or integrity. The NFL had a joke of a physician as their chief "medical expert" on concussions for YEARS.

You are welcome, and You are right... It should be taken out of the AMBS Certified, Medically Licensed, MD; that risks loosing his license, sued for malpractice, and his job... And put the decision in the hands of a Coach or player who's bonus and W/L record at risk.

What is foolish is to think that there is anyone less of a risk of corruption. It's also interesting that you prefer to let someone with zero medical knowledge make the decision.

Neither your age or feebality of mind are of concern to me.
