NFLPA and NFL soon are expected to agree to new protocols

yeah pretty soon if a QB gets sacked he needs to miss the next 3 games

"Instability"? Has anybody been watching our QBs since 2000?

Pretty much what I expected. I'm actually surprised there was a meeting of the minds so quickly, but I'm sure the NFL wanted to "stop the bleeding" as it pertains to the media coverage.

The word "instability" has to have at least some clear definition, though. I guess no matter what, it ends up being subjective to some extent.

QBs will have to wear flags. Defenders will have to remove said flags with out bumping into or touching the QB in any way.

It's pretty much where we're at now.

Got to love the part about we have not made any conclusions about medical errors or protocol violations. Yet the NFLPA already threw out a piece of meat (the UNC Doctor) to the mob (media/twitter).

And who decides what constitutes instability? And what if that instability is caused by a sprained ankle that the player gets taped? Can opposing coaches claim they saw instability from the other team's QB and trigger something to get that QB thrown out of the game?

Yeah, was thinking something similar

 

[TarHeelFinFan]

Not to mention this will incentivize defenses to go for headshots. If they can get star players thrown out of the game over some wobbles it would be worth a 15 yard penalty. And apparently they can suplex players and slam them on their heads and not draw any penalty based on what we saw in Cincinnati.

Guy in the review room deciding if it was instability. What go go wrong?

 

[AMakados10]

This is admitting that following the protocol doesn’t always work and puts the safety of players above any chance of continuing to play that game.

I’m fine with that but not sure why the independent neurologist got fired then they nuke the protocol process?

 

[bigfoot]

They're going to have to expand the rosters.

I have instability when I stub my toe, or a 300 pound man steps on my foot. I’d be out of every game.
