I spent about an hour dissecting the starting current 32 QB's in the NFL and there injuries.
Here is a list of some of the better QB's who have suffered a concussion , and are still playing , not missing significant time.
#1 Jay Cutler = 4 concussions , 2006 2010 2012 2017 , also 3 concussions in college while playing at Vanderbilt , hasn't missed significant playing time.
#2 Ben Roethlisberger 3 concussions 2006 2009 2012 , only missed 1 game.
#3 Jared Goff 1 concussion 2016
#4 Alex Smith 2 concussions 2012 , 2016 , only missed 1 game
#5 Philip Rivers 1 concussion 2017
#6 Tyrod Taylor 1 concussion in 2018
#7 Joe Flacco 1 concussion 2017
#8 Cam Newton 1 concussion 2016
#9 Derek Carr 1 concussion 2014
#10 Case Keenum 1 concussion 2015
#11 Aaron Rodgers 2 concussions in 2010
#12 Carson Palmer concussion in 2016 missed 1 game
And finally Tom Brady , in 17 years of playing , he has never reported a concussion , so people think he's fine. But that isn't the truth, he has suffered multiple concussions in his career , they just aren't reporting it.
Here is a direct quote from his wife , and I linked it at the bottom of the page.
"He had a concussion last year. He has concussions pretty much every -- I mean, we don't talk about it. He does have concussions," Bundchen said on "CBS This Morning" on Wednesday. "I don't really think it's a healthy thing for a body to go through that kind of aggression all the time. That could not be healthy for you."
The bottom line is , outside of Eli Manning , any QB you draft is gonna more than likely suffer a concussion. After doing the research , many QB's can play through it , and it doesn't shorten your career.
Is it good for you? Of course not , but the FACTS are the majority of these QB's are playing with them , and still playing at a high level.
P.S. , I know the majority of you here want to have an intellectual conversation about this subject , and I will reply to you , even if you disagree with me. But if you want to start cussing at me , and calling me names , I don't respond to immature childish behavior. I only deal with respectful posters , who have an above average IQ

- Jay Cutler
Which of those guys were up for selection with the #2 pick with known concussion issues in college?
Information we know now is more valuable than that list, which really serves little purpose.
What would've been a better use of an hour or more would be to compile a list of QB's with concussion concerns in college who were drafted and didn't have issues. Better yet - top QB prospects.
Or, why not list those QB's at the top of the draft who had major shoulder surgery and became superstars.
These daily threads are becoming ponderous. Fucking ponderous.
Still waiting for that bullshit claim to get posted as you said you would yesterday when you were too fucking tired.
Like I said, I don't really care much about the concussions. The issue with Rosen is his shoulder. That's it. The concussion stuff is just icing on the cake.
That would mean he's a tough son of a bitch.

We are all expecting a "Trashing Part 3" to detail shoulder concerns.
Me thinks your definition of FACT is not the same as most.
Careful...careful...takes sifting through a lot of information
Yet an article that was "right in front of him" the dude can't figure out what to fucking do with it.
I am assuming this thread is a “hit and run”? No response back from the OP after all this FACT finding
I bet I can post a factual article about a Dad ripping off the elderly before he can post one with Rodgers having previous concussions.

Yup, comes right up after a simple google search, unlike the Mitch Berger article.

I think Bill is right. Certain posters have a style and when I was reading through their trashing threads, it seemed very familiar. But then I checked the handle and it was created in 2012. Of course, that doesn't eliminate Simo as the troll has a library of handles that he can fall back on.

Also Figgy , I responded to you , but I refuse to reply to the FatMan , until he learns how to show some respect. As of right now I don't respect him , until he learns....
TIA
And I'm at work , so I won't be able to respond till later today
Do you think we are stupid?
Nothing about previous concussions. You want me to learn respect? Fuck you.
The article Is filled with inaccuracies and the author has no evidence of prior concussions...
.....
Nice. How your last requirement conveniently boots me out of the discussion.

Let the Giant leadership perform their due diligence and whom ever they select I will be good with.
2) Also as he points out, it isn't factoring concussions prior to the draft or other QB prospects who had concussions prior to the draft.
3) The bottom line is, Rosen has already had at least 2 concussions we know about prior to the draft, with the most recent considered severe. That puts him at a much higher risk than almost everyone on the list and everyone else being considered in the draft.
4) Besides the concussions, the shoulder worries me as much. The shoulder is probably the most delicate joint in the body. It never is truly healed and the risk of re-injury or new injury is great.
5) I think talent-wise, decision making, etc. Rosen is the most NFL ready prospect and perhaps the best...right now. However, the risks given his injury history, already, are too great to invest the future in.
link on Rodgers - ( New Window )
I'm at a loss as to how you think that link supports your argument that Rosen's concussions don't matter. If anything, that link screams "stay away!".
A poster has challenged me to provide an example of a top rated college quarterback that had concussion issues prior to being drafted.
If he had fully read my post , Jay Cutler had 3 co concussions in college.
Yet he was drafted in the 1st rd , and has suffered 4 more concussions and has played 12 seasons in the NFL.
I hope Gettlemen gets this draft right.......
Thanks for showing some respect , here is the article about Rodgers High School and College concussions.
Not only did you post a bullshit article, but even in that article, it only details Rodgers concussions in 2010, of which there isn't any debate.
You have now claimed in two threads that Rodgers had a history of concussions before the NFL and there is NO evidence to support it. In fact, I posted Rodgers himself saying his first ever concussion was 2010.
I agree wholeheartedly with sxdxca. Rosen is way too much of a risk to draft at #2. Excellent points all the way around!
And even in that errant blurb (with no supporting evidence), it isn't even called a concussion - it is called "brain trauma", even though there isn't anything to corroborate the author's slanted take. That isn't a quote from a medical person. And hell, in the same article, they say Rodgers has been called by ESPN as "one of the most concussion prone athletes in history"! Are you fucking kidding me with this shit?
Again, I'm not sure why you think an article that purports that Rodgers is considering retiring due to concussions is a good argument that Rosen's concussions don't matter. Seems a little counterintuitive to me.
Aaron Rodgers one concussion away from medical retirement, as Packers sell stock
And you are so much of an ignorant putz that you think that article is legit and that people who didn't read it look bad?
Fuck me with a stick.
Hard.
Jesus Christ. Sportscasters said Rodgers will never recover from a hit?? Really, where the fuck do you dig this shit up - is it part of the propoganda articles Dad used to bilk Aunt Mona?
