Once again, why is Tua the only one????
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35413187/why-dolphins-qb-tua-tagovailoa-now-face-questions-concussions-future
So here's an entire article about Tua's concussions. A lot of good info in it, and a lot of crap too. But regardless, why is Tua the only person under such scrutiny?
Pat Mahomes - 2 concussions in 2021
Kenny Pickett - 2 concussions in 2022
Tee Higgins - 2 concussions in 2022
Joe Burrow - talks about whole games he doesn't remember after getting concussed
And on and on and on.
So where are the articles about these players, questioning their ability to continue playing football?
I know we've talked about this several times, but it's just so frustrating to see Tua get targeted while no one else gets this kind of constant negative attention.

Don't forget Giselle talking about all the concussions Tom Brady suffered. That one never get any traction in the media, either.

Oh here's a write up on PFT, all but predicting a quick end to Tua's career due to being "concussion prone".
No mention that he'll most likely just switch helmets to help solve the problem.

Media getting outraged and even a bit frightened at the mere possibility Tua might be cleared for the Bills game, 3 weeks after the fact in a season where almost every other concussed player on every other team gets fast-tracked through the protocol within a week. I've decided to not even worry about it anymore, the Fins will lose whether Tua plays or not.
BTW nice to see you again white1, it's been a minute I was seriously getting worried about you

This comment might turn out to be accurate...
Will the NFL cut a deal with his insurance, give him a nice payout to walk away quietly? There is so much “under the radar” biz that happens in ANY industry. Something along those lines wouldn’t surprise me, then again with big-biz, NOTHING can surprise me.

Also, if the Steelers had indeed made the playoffs--which came FAR closer to happening than it should have--would the media have made a big deal about Kenny Pickett's two concussions this season (that we know about)? We all know the answer to that one...
