will they pull out tua or whoever our qb is because they say their is a stumble or concussion concern? Justin Fields could barely get up last night and they didn't pull him. I am starting to think the league has it in for us for many reasons.
 
Eh I think Fields was just being a over dramatic wimp honestly, attention seeking because he sucks and knows it.
Did you ever witness those displays in college? I swear he is the biggest baby...always so dramatic with hits then suddenly is fine. Watched him a lot and always said he is a faker.

Dolphins yes, almost any other team not so much
 
I think one of the keys will be not just how slow you're getting up, but was there anytime blow to the head or head hitting the ground. For the record I did think one of the blows to Fields could have counted as a blow to the chin and facemask and should have been considered as cause for Fields being slow getting up. The way it is no It seems like in a case like Tua's in Buffalo, if he just got up to a knee and stayed in that postion until he felt ready to go no action would have been take. Of course the Bengals incident would have triggered the protocol regardless.

Even someone faking it can be tossed out of the game according to the new rules. If the spotter "sees" it, he can report it and the player is removed from the game and must go through the concussion protocols for no reason. This could also affect those players who fake an injury in lieu of using a time-out. The problem is that Fields was not removed, but Bridgewater was, so that means that this new rule is one of two things; either it's so highly subjective that it can't be applied fairly, or it's a tool to be used to affect the outcome of a game. Either way, it's 100% wrong!
 
I’m far less worried about Tua getting taken out of games unnecessarily (and certainly not worried at all about any conspiracy) than I am that he’s going to get taken out again with a legitimate injury, especially another concussion.
