Imagine Superbowl 50, Pats down by 2 points at the final two minute warning. We have the ball at our 20 with 2 timeouts. Plenty of time for Tom Brady. Brady hits Edleman (yes, he's back!) for an 11 yarder but gets a little tap as the ball is released. The Independent Medical Consultant pulls Tom from the game, takes him to the locker room (kicking and screaming), and puts him through the Concussion Protocol, never to be seen again ... ARGHH !
I know. The Medical Consultant is independent. The NFL* says so.
It scares me a just a little. Anybody else bothered by this new "Player Safety" system? Is there enough oversight built in to prevent abuse? Your thoughts?
