He just needs to be cleared by the doctors, thats all it is.

Bump

Collie is just saying if the team doctors clear him , he's playing. If they don't clear him, he's not playing.

This article is the American Dream, turn nothing into something.

I hope he plays, but only if he gets cleared. If he gets another concussion though, the league will probably step in because they can't be having that everytime he's out on the field.

That's the only way he can play, lol.

And the league didn't step in for Rodgers last year or for anyone else. If players pass the concussion test, they are cleared. They don't deal with these special studies and such, they deal with " is he normal, healthy rightnow "

pagano said the doctors did clear him. hope he is 100% to doctors standards. could be a strategic move to keep the Bears wondering. love to have him on the field but if your hurt your hurt no need to rush back before your 100% especially with a concussion

I think the only grade they pass you on a concussion test is 100% A+

That's what I uinderstood.....He's been cleared......but when he says he's not focused on Subday..only getting better...?

If he's saying that Thursday of the 1st of 16 (or more) games...

To me..that means he has doubts and he should not play...

Earlier in the week he was a full participant at practice and Pagano said he was fine and would be a "full go".

Last 2 days he has been a limited participant and Collie is now unsure if he will play. My guess is he does not play and i wonder if he wasn't happy with things after the full practice earlier in the week.

They only clear players on concussions if they think he's 100%.

Well, I don't think he's 100% if he's unsure if he's going to play or not.

If he was going to play with no concerns, then that'll show us that he's 100%.

Oh and also, I can't tell you how many players have been cleared and they weren't 100%. The numbers are countless.

He says he's unsure because he doesn't know if the team doctors will clear him or not, he's putting it in their hands. That's the only reason he's saying he's unsure.

This article is just another example of making a story out of nothing, and then the forum makes it bigger than it is

I was listening to sports radio down here in Phoenix yesterday and they were interviewing one of the 72 Dolphins team members can't remember who but he was a DE. Part of the conversation went to how the game of football has changed over the years and concussions came up. He said he believed he left every game with a concussion. Now I don't know how much of that is true or how much of that is a weird form of boasting, but I think it's too early for Collie to be considering retirement just yet. We're so much more careful with these things now that at least players aren't being left in games to continue to take brain damaging punishment. I think caution is warranted but calls for retirement seem premature at this point. Players that head hunt should receive year-long bans IMO.

the problem with the year long bans for head hunting still leaves a gray area in determining what was intentional head hunting and what was a helmet to helmet do to the sport being a collision sport in other words when human bodies collide the neck moves as well as the head and when you take that into account and the actual size of the helmets (they are not small) into consideration helmet to helmet hits will happen regardless, dangerous hits will happen they will never be taken from the game unless you put flags on players, the trick is to decide whats intentional and what isn't, many are not intentional

      I’m not a religious person, but since you’re an educator I think you’re doing Gods work!   In these crazy insane times we’re all living in you’re doing one of the toughest jobs on earth.  And you’re teaching perhaps the most difficult generation to deal with.     From a distance it feels like you’re being very unfair to you.  I’m hoping in time you’ll see yourself in a completely different light.    Someone highly thought of.  A leader in the community.  A protector of young minds.   I couldn’t admire a teacher more.

      You are too self-deprecating. You are one of the most respected and bright members here. You should never feel that you are failing. I'm sure your wife and children don't feel that way.  Indiana does not pay teachers what they deserve. But money is overrated. Having good morals and good character should be valued a lot more. JMO.

      They make a heck of a lot more money than I do. Even those on the practice squad are making life changing money.    To be completely honest, as an educator I feel more like trash nowadays. One of those moments where I feel like I’m failing as a man, a husband, a father and a teacher. I would absolutely never consider an honest working NFL player as trash.

      Food for thought… Once again, you continue to be your own worst enemy.     The Colts overall TE room is loaded with young players most of whom have had very little playing time for a variety of reasons.   So if you want to say the room might not be ranked high, that’s fair.    But you don’t say that.  You call them “trash”.  Why you feel that’s appropriate is a mystery.   Whenever you try the internet tough guy approach it typically blows up on you.     No one is trash.     You ignore the last three years and the QB and HC carousel the Colts have dealt with.  All of which has impacted the Colts weapons, especially the TE’s.   Ballard has publicly talked about how promising he thinks his TE room might be.   Woods, Granson, Ogletree, Mallory and MAC.    Only MAC is questionable and that’s because the salary hasn’t matched expectations.  But the first four?   All are promising.   They’re just young and looking for opportunity.  But they are NOT trash.     There’s a difference.

      Some of the coaches?   That sounds plural to me.   To the best of my knowledge the focus in this community has only been on one coach who may not be maximizing the players the Colts have.   And that’s the defensive coordinator.  He’s been a hot topic of conversation.  But I’m not aware of any other coach being viewed in a negative light.
