For those trashing Josh Rosen part two.....

sxdxca : 2/13/2018 5:13 pm
As we've already exposed Parcells evaluation of a college QB's win/loss record , as a faulty measuring line.

I will now address the fascination on BBI with not drafting Josh Rosen because of his concussion history , as also being faulty.

In 2015 there were 199 concussions in the NFL.

Out of 199 players suffering a concussion , the cornerback position had the highest amount of players reporting a concussion with 41.

Why?

Because players making a tackle suffer the highest amount of concussions in the NFL , with 41%.

On the other hand , the Quarterback position had only 12 players reporting a concussion.

Some of the QBs who suffered a concussion were , Roethlisberger , Bradford , Bridgewater , and Case Keenan.

Teddy Bridgewater suffered a concussion in 2015 , he was cleared to play the next week.

Roethlisberger has had 3 concussions in his career. One in 2006 , 2009 , and 2015. Out of all 3 concussions , he has missed only 1 game.

Sam Bradford , who is injury prone , suffered a concussion in 2015 , he missed 2 games.

Case Keenum suffered a concussion in 2015 , he remained in the game.

As the facts show , all 4 of these QB's suffered a concussion , and none of them missed significant playing time , if any.

To those also trashing Josh Rosen.

Alex Smith in 2012 , while playing for the 49ers , ran a QB sneak , and suffered a concussion. He missed 1 game.

The facts show , it can happen at anytime , even during a QB sneak.

You should be more concerened with CB , WR , TE , S , OT , LB , and RB positions , which report a greater number of players suffering a concussion , than the QB position.

So please stop using Rosen's concussion injury as a reason not to draft him , it's a faulty measuring line that collapses on itself.


No offense but this is ridiculous.

If you do research you will know that every concussion is different. Every person is different. That means it needs to be treated as an individual case. He suffered 2 concussions in a short period of time. How many of your examples relate to that? Seriously, research it. He had one, had another, and was held out of his bowl game. To dismiss it because none of your examples are relatable is ridiculous.

And how many are shitting on the kid because of it? We have the second pick in the draft. The one thing we cannot afford is to miss on this pick. So, yes, it is a concern. It doesn't mean the kid sucks. I like him a lot.

There was an important link that a poster posted yesterday which stated if a player doesn't show symptoms in a year then it is kind of like starting from scratch again. That is good news if true especially with sitting behind Eli for a year or two.

But look it up. When you get a concussion you are more susceptible to another. Just because that small sample size didn't have multiple concussions doesn't mean Rosen is free from that concern.

Whose argument is falling apart?  
LakeGeorgeGiant : 2/13/2018 5:28 pm : link
You have completetly ignored the fact that Rosen has missed significant time.

Ben only missed one game? Good for Ben, Rosen has missed many more.

Other positions are more likely to get a concussion? Ok, but that's deflection and a meaningless point. What does that gave to do with Rosen? He still got those concussions. How does it change Rosen's injury history.

I hope he stays healthy and has a long career, but the concerns with his health are justified.

Rosen missed significant playing time because of a shoulder injury , not because of a concussion. It's important that we understand this distinction.
I think it is important that we understand the word "trashing".

Reasons why I'm concerned about his concussion history...  
Dan in the Springs : 2/13/2018 5:41 pm : link
1. More than one documented concussion in college represents higher risk for future concussions.

2. Extended time missed from concussion is a red flag. I've heard it argued that delays returning from concussion could as easily be from an abundance of caution as from the severity of the concussion.

3. Given family background, it's possible that one or two more serious concussions might not just be the end of his season, but perhaps the end of his career.

#3 is especially true if the reason for delayed return is abundance of caution. I don't blame the player for wanting to be cautious re: injury and especially concussion, but what does that suggest will happen in the future if a serious concussion is had?

I'm not saying he's off my proverbial board, just saying it's a concern of mine with him.

All the data about LB, CB, etc. and concussion frequency rates doesn't change my mind one bit. I'm still a little hesitant about him because of the history.


Put it another way, if he had never had a concussion (or the shoulder surgery) I'm pretty sure he'd have a higher grade by everyone. Right?

Robbie , your flat out wrong.

Here’s Rosen’s injury history in a nutshell. He was lost halfway through 2016 with shoulder injury. He then proceeded to throw for almost 4,000 yards in 12 games in 2017. The shoulder is good to go.

He didn't play in the meaningless bowl game , cuz why should he risk getting hurt , when he is guaranteed a 20 million dollar contract with the film he has already put out. Its a smart business decision on his part.

That's the argument about caution. I'd accept it better but what does it suggest? He was saying that if he cleared the concussion protocol he would play. Now, he may have been advised against that, but even some 32 days after the concussion in the season finale he had not passed the concussion protocol and was banned from practicing. Those are the facts as they were reported.

Was it a serious concussion? Who knows for sure, but if it wasn't and they were just being precautious, what does that suggest?

Your also flat out incorrect , here are the facts...

He was knocked out of the UCLA Football versus Washington game with a concussion and missed the following game at Utah because of it.

In this day and age if you’re questioning a player’s toughness because of a concussion I have serious concerns about your mental health.

Finally Rosen was held out of the second half of the game against Cal because he sustained a very similar hit to the one that concussed him against Washington.

It Wasn’t his call to make and it was clear the coaching staff wanted to protect him. You can actually see how irate he is on the sideline. None of that should result in questions about his toughness.

It wasn't his decision, he wanted to play. It was a UCLA decision based on the risk of having a third concussion within a ten week span of time. It had nothing to do with the severity of the two concussions that he had because they weren't all that severe and he wasn't still experiencing symptoms.

I do think there may be something to Jim Mora Jr being overly cautious with him. They are neighbors and their families are friendly so Mora may have felt added pressure to look out for his health.

Who's questioning his toughness? I never did.

You're saying that we shouldn't be worried about his concussions and using statistics related to position history in the NFL. I'm concerned about his concussion history because he suffered a second one serious enough that even though he repeatedly stated he wanted to get back in the game and wanted to play in the bowl game, he couldn't clear the protocol even though it was over a month later.

That's a pretty serious concussion. If you're still suffering effects of a concussion over a month after you suffer it you've had a serious concussion.

I'm not arguing that he isn't tough.

Here are the facts , On October 28, in a 44–23 loss against Washington, Rosen was forced out of the game in the third quarter due to a concussion, which he had tried hiding from coaches after being injured on a sack in the game's opening drive.

After missing one game, Rosen returned to the lineup and threw for 381 yards with one touchdown and also scored on a 1-yard run in a 44–37 win over the Sun Devils.

He missed 1 game from a concussion , that's it

He couldn't pass the protocol. You think they lied about that? You think the doctors didn't evaluate him properly?

There was something that was still wrong or he would have passed the protocol, imo.

Rosen missed significant playing time because of a shoulder injury , not because of a concussion. It's important that we understand this distinction.

I think you unwittingly may have proven the opposite of what you set out to prove. If QB concussions are statistically rare, and most don't miss much time when they do get one, then a QB who has suffered multiple concussions in a short period of time and then missed his bowl game several weeks later as a result of those concussions absolutely IS a concern.

Peter from NH (formerly CT) : 2/13/2018 6:11 pm : link
the more we know about concussions the worse the news is. Multiple diagnosed concussions is a huge red flag. The kids that get two often keep getting them to the point where they can no longer play. There are lots of other kids that take much worse hits and never get a concussion. It is very individualized but when kids get multiple concussions the symptoms tend to start getting worse.

At this point, this is a pretty significant risk in taking a player who you absolutely have to depend to be on the field.

He may be fine but there is a much greater risk with this guy than with others. To say otherwise is just blind love for a player.

There was no protocol to pass because the decision wasn't based on whether or not he was experiencing symptoms, it was based on the timing of the two concussions he had experienced earlier in the season. And not even on the severity of the two concussions (which didn't appear to be severe, but I'm no doctor and I only base it on his appearance on the sidelines following them, so it's possible I'm wrong about their respective severity).
So if a fan of the Giants

As others have stated, the 2nd overall pick needs to be as close to “can’t miss / super clean” (injury history, arrest history, intangibles) as possible.

Rosen does not meet the above criteria in the opinion of many posters (including mine).

I really, really hope the Browns take Rosen. I want the Giants to have the choice of Darnold or Barkley or the proverbial “King’s Random trade down” offer.

Where did you get that from? Here's one (of many) articles that claims Rosen himself said he hadn't yet passed the protocol. This was December 24th.

Quote:
Star UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen said Saturday that he remains in concussion protocol but still is hoping to play for the Bruins in Tuesday's Cactus Bowl against Kansas State.



Look Milton, I know you're a big fan of the guy. I like him too. It's just ignorance though to pretend that the concussion history he's had isn't a red flag of some sort. I ask you to honestly consider this question: Would he have a higher grade by (almost) everyone if he had zero concussions?


The real facts are that he missed two games from the concussions, regardless of what sxdxca claims are the facts. He wasn't cleared to play in the bowl game by the doctors. If you have evidence that the doctors cleared him and he chose not to please share it.

Peter from NH (formerly CT) : 2/13/2018 6:32 pm : link
We don't even run a baseline test on athletes that we think have been concussed for 6-8 hours afterward. Obviously, if someone is disoriented on the sidelines that is one thing. But most concussions, even severe ones, aren't like that. A lot of symptoms don't begin to appear for hours after. Kids that develop severe symptoms often walk off the field fine.

Having come from the generation that laughed about getting your "bell rung", it is pretty scary stuff when you see high school athletes that are incapacitated for weeks and, in some cases, months later. Wondering about the damage that my generation did to itself through ignorance.

Really? How about this absolute?

I absolutely wouldn't be worrying about his chances for a concussion if he hadn't had two recent ones.

I know that there are no absolutes with concussions - there's only risk and perceived risk. I can't find anyone though who disagrees with the idea that he would be a safer prospect without the two concussions.

Do you disagree with that idea?

Notice how we don't talk about concussions risk with players who've never been concussed. I'm saying that if he were in that group, we wouldn't be talking about concussions with him either. We'd all prefer he didn't have a concussion history, but that doesn't mean we're all absolutely certain it's a problem.

I tried to do some more digging on the concussions to find out about their severity and the symptoms that followed. I was looking for specific quotes rather than second hand reports, because sometimes a report can jump to a conclusion.

The main thing I wanted to find out was what constitutes being in the protocol. Was Rosen in the "protocol" one month later because he was still experiencing symptoms or because of the fact that he was coming off two concussions within a four week window of each other prior to the bowl game.

Quote:
According to a UCLA source, Rosen wanted to play but the medical staff doesn’t want him to play in this game because they didn’t want him to risk having another concussion so close to the last one.

The junior quarterback has been in concussion protocol since getting injured late in the season. Rosen sustained a concussion against Washington on Oct. 28 and then sat out the following game. He was also banged up and sat out the second half of the Bruins' regular-season finale against Cal on Nov. 24.


Normally guys who are in concussion protocol aren't practicing with the team (I could be wrong about that) and Rosen was practicing with the team in the lead up to the bowl game.

As for the severity of the two concussions, Peter is right in that I'm really in no position to comment on them based solely on appearances. I guess we'll know more following the medical checkup at the combine.

The junior quarterback has been in concussion protocol since getting injured late in the season. Rosen sustained a concussion against Washington on Oct. 28 and then sat out the following game. He was also banged up and sat out the second half of the Bruins' regular-season finale against Cal on Nov. 24.



Normally guys who are in concussion protocol aren't practicing with the team (I could be wrong about that) and Rosen was practicing with the team in the lead up to the bowl game.

As for the severity of the two concussions, Peter is right in that I'm really in no position to comment on them based solely on appearances. I guess we'll know more following the medical checkup at the combine.


I'm not an expert on the protocol, but it would seem silly to think that being in the protocol doesn't include examinations looking for indicators that a full recovery has occurred. It's not just because of the previous schedule, or they would have been able to announce that he would not be able to play immediately following the second concussion. It was undetermined because they were looking to see how he responded to treatment to determine if he was ready to play football again. In the end, they decided he was not fully recovered, whatever that means.

It's tiresome arguing the minutiae. What's worse is because it seems silly to be arguing it. Can't we all agree that he would be better off having never been concussed? Wouldn't that make us all feel a lot better? If so, what's wrong with stating that?

He's a great prospect, but maybe not entirely clean. If not, the biggest concerns are rightfully related to his health.

Anyone dealing in absolutes on this is to be doubted. The entire issue of concussions is still a matter that needs a lot more research.



Really? How about this absolute?

I absolutely wouldn't be worrying about his chances for a concussion if he hadn't had two recent ones.


There were 244 diagnosed concussions in the NFL in 2016. Everyone's at risk.

Who knows how many more flew under the radar as un-diagnosed, and we have to allow for the possibility that players don't report symptoms, that teams know and don't report players being diagnosed, and that the league, which has a significant interest and is highly defensive about the topic, isn't trying to play defense against those numbers.

Quote:
I know that there are no absolutes with concussions - there's only risk and perceived risk. I can't find anyone though who disagrees with the idea that he would be a safer prospect without the two concussions.

Do you disagree with that idea?


Would he be a safer prospect? I don't know if it's fact or not that previous concussions increase vulnerability to them. I've heard it said, and I've heard it downplayed as well. There's no medical consensus on that that I'm aware of yet. He would be considered 'safe' because it's one less thing for a fan to think about.

It seems highly unlikely that football in it's current form is in any way given to minimizing concussion risk. It's not a helmet issue. It's not even a "big hit" issue according to some doctors. Repetitive impacts that don't look serious contribute just as much to the problem, some say. And if that's true, then the whole sport needs to be upended because it doesn't matter one bit if you never had one before.

I feel strongly about player safety out of appreciation for their talent, and I'm 100% in favor of anything that makes careers longer.

But if we're saying that concussions are serious enough that you need to pass on a quarterback, arguably the most important position in team sports, and the hardest to fill, because he's got concussions on his medical record, then don't you also have to start talking about not investing significant resources in any players with concussion histories? If so, that's sure going to conflict with teams that only care about winning and aren't going to mind the risk just to be able to put the most talented team possible on the field.

Anyway, my point is not that you shouldn't care if Rosen has had a couple of concussions. You should. But if that's the moment we start to care about it, then we need to realize that this affects all players all the time and concussions don't care about medical history. The only defense against it is to stop full contact in the sport. The argument that Rosen might be one hit away is true for anyone. Darnold, Allen, or Rosen, Barkley, or Chubb, if you prefer.

Risk of Concussion

History of Concussion

Multiple prospective studies have identified a history of prior concussion as a risk factor for subsequent concussion.21-23,45 In high school athletes, a greater-than-twofold increase in concussion rate was seen with history of concussion, even when adjusting for sport contact level, grade, and body mass index.45 This association was strongest for football.45 Nonprofessional rugby has similar findings.23 A dose-response relationship was seen in collegiate football, including a 3-times-higher risk of repeat concussion with a history of 3 or more concussions.21

If someone else wants to dismisses the risk or the health or potential for losing your investment right away, then that’s okay. It’s just not me and I hope, I pray actually, that it’s not Dave Gettleman.

And, it’s not even totally about his potential for not being able to play. Its also about a father who, if he is both a good father and a competent neurologist, would not risk his son/patient’s life on a 4th concusssion.

This is totally unrelated, but there was a girl on my daughter’s soccer team who got a concussion. What she hid was the she had three in HS. A year later she dropped out of school because the headaches and dizziness had not gone away. Yeah everyone is different. But IIRC, she was on the verge of being booted from the team anyway because there’s apparently an NCAA rule that puts a cap on lifetime concusssion. I want to say 4 or 5.

Anyone that I ever knew hat got a concussion from sports went on to have multiple. I don’t know how anyone without an agenda can possibly believe having 1 is the same as having 0.

Umm our own DJ Fluker , who everyone here wants to sign to a long term contract , has already had 4 concussions. And no one seems to bat an eye on him.

He plays at Guard , which is 1,000 times more violent than playing QB.

My point is that , if Rosen learns to evade the big hits , he will be fine. Eli is a master of getting rid of the football fast , that's why he's started over 200 games. Rosen can learn to do the same.
Rosen's concussion hx is not a major concern for me.  
Glover : 2/13/2018 8:05 pm : link
And I think people on BBI became more afraid of him when they added his concussion history with his intelligence, and felt he might become the next Chris Borland. That makes sense, but the guy is smart enough, and old enough right now to make the decision as to whether he wants to risk his health playing NFL football. If he thought the risk outweighed the reward, I am sure he would have let it be known by now. Could he change his mind 3 to 4 years from now, yes, but like I said, I think the guy is smart enough and can weigh the information about potential long term brain injury and make his decision about playing in the NFL, and currently, he is committed to being drafted into the league. Chris Borland changed his mind about playing in the NFL very quickly, but I think his is a rare case.

What worries me (I never trashed Rosen) is the fact that we have Eli, who can lead a good team to a Championship (yes, next season, or the next), and should play, so, Is spending the #2 overall pick on a QB who will sit for 2 years the best way to produce a winner in 2018? I see the wisdom of getting a franchise QB, even if you have an aging franchise QB, but I dont think the "they won't be picking that high again for a long time" reasoning is enough to take the QB. Gotta do whats best for now AND the future. A lot of people forget about the NOW part. I'm not.

Im trading down with Buffalo at 22, getting 22 and 23 this year, a second this year, and the Bills 1st and 2nd round picks next year. They can load up on young players and still come out with the best QB in the draft, LAMAR JACKSON.

...of concussions in the NFL , with 41%.'

Your logic is faulty.The low rate of concussions among QB's makes Rosen's multiple incidents even more alarming.

Why? because it's been proven that soome people are simply more prone to suffering them. And that he is likely among them. And he'll be getting hit more explosively by stronger faster opponents at the nFL. A scenario that doesn't bode well for him avoiding further and perhaps more severe concussions.

i don’t think that’s very fair. The guy had to study this stuff and become proficient to get his degree. Also, depending on his specialty area he could know quite a bit more than the average MD (which is logarithmically more than the rest of us). I had my spine done by an ortho but I could have gone to a neurologist for the same surgery and other treatment. There can be a lot of overlap.

reading medical studies on concussions, it seems that the brain can fully recover if given enough time to heal.

Quote:
While you are healing, you should be very
careful to avoid doing anything that could cause a bump,
blow, or jolt to the head or body. On rare occasions, receiving another concussion before the brain has healed can result in brain swelling, permanent brain damage, and even death, particularly among children and teens.

So how exactly does your “facts” of home having 3 concussions in 2010, when he was already established in the NFL have anything to do with taking a QB at number 2, who already has a history of concussions coming into the league. I will wait for your “facts” to counter that point.



Figgy , you've already attempted to take two shots at me so far , and I've let you slide , no more , here's a FACT for you about Rodgers history in High School and College....

Dr. Mitchel Berger, a member the National Football League’s Head, Neck and Spine Medical Committee at the University of California, San Francisco said NFL players , especially RODGERS given his history of concussions in HIGH SCHOOL , COLLEGE and NOW in the NFL , he should consider early retirement .....

FACT , Rodgers has a history of concussions , prior to the NFL , and he suffered two concussions in 2010 ... FACT.

I've just countered you with FACTS , Figgy Its time for you to just go home , one word for you....FAIL









Jay Cutler had 3 concussions while he played at Vanderbilt in college , before being drafted , FACT

Since he's been in the NFL , he has had 4 concussions , 2006 , 2010 , 2012 , 2017 , and hasn't missed significant playing time FACT


Yes, use Jay Cutler as your shining example. That will go well. FACT.

Anyone who isn’t concerned about the concussions and shoulder is just being naive.



Umm our own DJ Fluker , who everyone here wants to sign to a long term contract , has already had 4 concussions. And no one seems to bat an eye on him.

He plays at Guard , which is 1,000 times more violent than playing QB.

My point is that , if Rosen learns to evade the big hits , he will be fine. Eli is a master of getting rid of the football fast , that's why he's started over 200 games. Rosen can learn to do the same.



Seriously, you are comparing a scrap heap OL with the number 2 overall pick? Keep starting threads on why everyone is wrong here. Your contribution to this site is invaluable.



The difference between me and you is this , I use facts. In fact here is another one for you...

Aaron Rodgers QB of Green Bay , had 2 concussions in 2010 , one in October and December. That's right 2 concussions , a few months apart , and hasn't had one since. FACT

DJ Fluker has had 4 concussions , and is still playing regularly at one of the most violent positions in the NFL without missing significant time , FACT....

He couldn't pass the protocol. You think they lied about that? You think the doctors didn't evaluate him properly?

There was something that was still wrong or he would have passed the protocol, imo.

There was no protocol to pass because the decision wasn't based on whether or not he was experiencing symptoms, it was based on the timing of the two concussions he had experienced earlier in the season. And not even on the severity of the two concussions (which didn't appear to be severe, but I'm no doctor and I only base it on his appearance on the sidelines following them, so it's possible I'm wrong about their respective severity).

Milton, with all due respect, get real. If it was based solely on the timing, they wouldn't have even let him dress. There was no reason other than the concussions that it went down to the wire.
There..

are articles and quotes directly from Rosen that he was in concussion protocol.

The amount of misinformation and outright untruths, just to keep supporting rosen is a really fucking strange thing.

Hell, Milton actually suggests that Mora was just being overly cautious with Rosen because the families are close.

I tried to do some more digging on the concussions to find out about their severity and the symptoms that followed justify my obsession with Josh Rosen. I was looking for specific quotes rather than second hand reports, because sometimes a report can jump to a conclusion a way to keep championing Rosen here in spite of his well-documented concussion history.

The main thing I wanted to find out was what constitutes being in the protocol. Was Rosen in the "protocol" one month later because he was still experiencing symptoms or because of the fact that he was coming off two concussions within a four week window of each other prior to the bowl game whether I could explain away his concussions in a way that would allow me to keep singing his praises, as I've done with every draft prospect that I've become infatuated with over the years.

Fixed it for you, Milton.

FatMan in Charlotte : 2/13/2018 10:22 pm : link
up that Rodgers had concussions prior to the NFL. You didn't even link an article or a quote. Here's the words right from his mouth:

Quote:
Rodgers has had two concussions in his lifetime, he said, and both came with “completely different” symptoms.

In each, he stayed in the game immediately after the injury.

The first concussion, Rodgers said, happened in the 2010 season when the Packers traveled to Washington. Rodgers remembers Washington linebacker London Fletcher being one of three defenders to hit him almost simultaneously. He said his left eye went “silver metallic,” and he could only see out of his right.

Rodgers stayed in the game, even scrambling for 15 yards on the next snap. He started the next week against the Miami Dolphins.

A second concussion happened later in the 2010 season when the Packers traveled to the Detroit Lions. Once again, Rodgers did not leave the game — at least not immediately. Rodgers doesn’t remember what happened after his concussion, but he knows he remained in the game even after referee Gene Steratore checked him on the field.

“I got up,” Rodgers said, “and my chinstrap was across my nose. You could see Gene Steratore, one of my favorite referees, and he kind of comes over to me, and he’s like, ‘Hey, are you OK?’ I don’t remember this, but I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’m fine. I’m fine.’ There was a timeout called, went over to the sideline, and I think I waved off, ‘Oh, I’m good. I’m good. But it was the first time in my life I had blacked out, but that's not what you are thinking at the time. You're out there to compete and keep leading the team. Your body takes over, almost unconsciously. Maybe unconsciously."

“It’s just kind of what’s built into you,” Rodgers said. “I went back out there for a couple plays, and I couldn’t call the plays, and they ended up getting me out of there.”

If that's what they're looking for then they're just going to end up being the first team to try to play games without a QB. They're set in their ways, but I don't think they're that stubborn and intractable. Finding a marketable face isn't that difficult. The player that plays well and has success becomes marketable. They certainly don't have a moral stand against Odell making money for them, and he certainly does.

It's so funny that people get these narratives in their head and just assume the world is lying when information runs counter to what they choose to believe.

Quote:
Rodgers has had [b[two concussions in his lifetime[/b], he said, and both came with “completely different” symptoms.

"But it was the first time in my life I had blacked out, but that's not what you are thinking at the time. You're out there to compete and keep leading the team. Your body takes over, almost unconsciously. Maybe unconsciously."


These Rosen threads are bizarre as fuck to begin with, especially when you have two posters who seem to be wholly obsessed with the guy. Obsessed enough to just fabricate shit.

Zepp : 2/14/2018 9:27 am : link
of a little knowledge being a bad thing. Anyone in the healthcare field where they work with patients will tell you that everyone is different. You can't say in terms of concussions oh Aaron Rodgers had 2 and didn't have another one...therefore Rosen wont have another one. That is not a fact as has been childishly claimed. Everyone is different and concussions in individuals are different.

Here are the facts. Rosen has had 2 concussions in a short amount of time. The NFL has a concussion protocol where if he gets a concussion he could be missing significant time. Those are the facts period! No one can predict whether anyone is going to have a future concussion. Therefore this is the classic example of being a red flag. Something that is alarming and should be considered when making a decision of basing your career and franchise on drafting this person with this red flag.

IMO the Giants would be idiots to draft this kid with a concussion history. Yes it is a FACT that he has a concussion history. He might not ever have one ever again in his life but are you willing to bet your job, reputation, franchise on it? I'm a little more conservative when everything is on the line. That and also that he seems to be an immature man baby has me taking Barkley and rolling the dice with him who has less if any red flags.
I am as on-board with Rosen as anyone,  
Section331 : 2/14/2018 9:53 am : link
with the probable exception of Milton, but you're whistling past the graveyard if you don't think his concussion history is a concern. You can be certain any team looking at him will investigate it thoroughly, as they should. Anyone who gets a concussion is at more risk for further concussions than those who have not had any.

I will trust the Giants to do their due diligence with his injury history, but let's not make it out to be trivial.
Some of you are over the top about me being over the top...  
Milton : 2/14/2018 4:18 pm : link
I'm not saying concussions aren't a concern in general in the NFL (I'm the one who advocates eliminating the 3-point stance because of concussions), my only point was that I consider it a non-factor when comparing Rosen to the other prospects in the draft. He isn't going to drop because of the concussions. And he isn't going to cut his career short because of the concussions.

I'm willing to be here and now with anyone that he will have longer career than Saquon Barkley and miss fewer games due to injury than Saquon Barkley. And while they won't all be diagnosed and publicized, I'm gonna guess that Rosen will have fewer concussions during his career than Saquon Barkley.

p.s.--I'll admit that after doing more googling, I may have been wrong to dismiss both of his concussions as non-severe. I'm not a doctor or enough of a student of concussions to know how to categorize concussions based on symptoms and even if I was, there isn't complete information on it available to the public. As for why the public was strung along with the news that Rosen might be available to play in his bowl game before ultimately stating that the reason he was held out was based on the timing of the prior two concussions and the risk of a third one within a short window, well, that's a good question and open to theories (one being they wanted to downplay the severity of his concussion symptoms for purposes of not hurting his draft stock and another relating to PR surrounding the bowl game--with Rosen being the biggest attraction).

some kind of attack, I certainly didn't intend it that way. For the most part, I share your enthusiasm for Rosen, but I do think his recent concussions will be a significant interest for teams.
the issue isnt so much  
msh : 2/14/2018 4:32 pm : link
the fact he had a concussion as with the game it happens its the fact he missed over 4 weeks with a concussion that hints at a bigger problem especially behind that porous OL ,eli has taken ALOT of hits and never missed time in his career

then you add the already repaired shoulder into the mix people have raised concerns about if he is the right pick or not its a very important pick and everyone has different priorities and issues with every player available at the number 2 pick which is alot

realistically they have 5 choices a QB, barkley, chubb, fitzpatrick or a slight trade back if the reward is high enough and it still leaves you a shot at one of the other 4 choices at least the QB is already heavily debated so i wont add to it

barkley will open up the running game and give you another receiving option out the back field and with veeren likely gone this is a distinct possibility if they feel webb can be the guy to replace eli in a year or two

chubb is a very real option too, gettleman used alot of high choices in carolina on the defensive side of the line early jpp has missed alot of time and isnt the same player,vernon is a good disruptor and above average run defender but he isnt a pure pass rusher,chubb would give them that and with the secondry they need pressure to force errors and allow the pass defence to hold up better

fitzpatrick could be the foil to collins at safety giving them a ball hawking safety that bletcher can use to make his scheme work or to free up collins to be the guy his scheme demands at safety either way he is in play if they trade back he may be the choice with the extra pick(s) used on the holes at other positions like OL or MLB

or to trade back into the first round for a QB that they rate higher than the mock people do as was the case with webb. second overall is perhaps a little soon for him to be picked as it stands but it wouldnt be a terrible pick but this is gettlemans first draft and a safer and quicker return pick may work better like the pass rusher,running back or the QB obviously
