Quote:I would prefer Gus actually spoke with trainers and got more specific information in regards to his status.


The coaching and medical staff dropped the ball on this one big time.

What exactly do you want the staff to tell Gus when he asks them?


Pierce did not show symptoms and didn't even tell trainers he felt off until an hour AFTER the game. Making a ridiculous block, which most didn't even realize until after the game, is not evidence of a concussion in and of itself. For all they knew, he just made a bone headed play. If you concussion tested everyone after making a stupid mistake then you'd have half the league going through testing every Sunday.


He wasn't falling over, wasn't throwing up, and didn't tell the staff he felt concussed. Not to mention he did not take a violent hit to the head to suggest he MIGHT have one.


You tell me how they were supposed to know he had a concussion under those circumstances.
