Luke still has not passed the concussion protocol, Cotch in full pads and helmet

I know its hard, but the best thing people can do to combat stupid posts like this is to ignore them.  He says he doesnt care about the opinions of others, but all of us, including him, know thats a lie.

[EightyNine]

hmmmm once again that isn't true.

What I dislike is when people completely miss my point or interpret it to mean something other than what I'm saying.

If you guys would actually read my posts, since I've dummied it down like 5 times, maybe you would understand rather than chiming in with "hehe stupid post. poop joke."

That's the huddle for ya, though. 

Trust me...everyone got what you were trying to say.  You dont like what Rivera says to the media about injuries..we got it.  We still think you sound stupid and dont have reasonable expectations.  You didnt have to dummy anything down..we understood.  But apparently, people need to dumb down their responses to you, because you clearly arent understanding what others are saying.

Also, if you say you dislike people missing your point, then you do care about the opinions of others.

What I interpreted from your posts is that you think something "fishy" and "shady" is going on in regards to the relaying of information about Luke's concussion due to lack of information provided to the public and the fact that Luke has been on then off the field on different days during the MEDIA PORTIONS OF PRACTICES. Keep in mind, that is only a small time frame in which journalists get to see what's going on for the day. The team practices more throughout the day -  who's to say Luke didn't go out and practice in some way shape or form after the media left? Completely reasonable assumption to make. Just because they don't see it and don't report it doesn't mean it's not happening.  

People are jumping down your ass not because they can't understand what you're saying, but because you sound like a tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorist jumping to conclusions about Luke's impending fate based on a LACK of evidence and not the evidence provided. If it were a more severe concussion, I'm sure they would say "Luke has a severe concussion, he's out until further notice". Instead they're just saying "he hasn't passed protocol, and when he does, he'll play"... which is a completely reasonable statement to make about the dude without assuming the absolute worst while there is no evidence to the contrary. 

The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence for Luke.

Norman is working on his return too-

On having Luke back:

“Hopefully he’ll be back with us," Norman said. “Man, just ball at that capacity rate. He’s a dog right there. He’s an animal. He’s a No. 1 guy. I just love playing with him. When we get him back, everything is going to be even that much better."

Hey Cracka, could you share that hand dryer picture for this topic? It has turned to a pile of poo, and my hands are dirty.

It was an epic picture though!

Also have to think that Luke had a really high base line score.

@ 15  I seriously hope there are no guns in your house, for your sake.

Still wrong lol. And I don't think you should try and speak for everyone when saying they understand me, because clearly they don't. Disliking someone missing your point isn't considered caring about what you said. If someone takes what I say the wrong way, I will do my best to try and help them understand what I meant. Do I care if they agree? Nope.

So yeah, I'm not going to keep wasting my time arguing about this. It's pretty straight forward. I caught flack for being concerned about Luke's health in week 3, and if these confusing/vague updates continue to happen and Luke misses the Seattle game, everyone will begin to be concerned and searching for concrete answers like I am. 

I still think i am right..My real point was that i think you would get tired of making stupid posts after awhile if others didnt respond.

Everyone is concerned about Luke's health, so you're not alone in that and I dont think thats what people were giving you flack for.. its because you keep saying that they are not handling it correctly or giving you the concrete answers you want..  You should consider that they are dealing with something that they dont have concrete answers to.  I'm pretty sure you would be upset at any answer Rivera gave.  He couldnt give you an exact timeline for Luke's return, because he didnt know at the time.   If he did give you an answer, it wouldnt be accurate since they had no way of knowing, and you wouldnt like that either.  I think people also dont like how negative you are considering that Luke has missed the AVERAGE number of games that a LB misses after a concussion.  People accused you of making assumptions too soon and they were correct...they will still be correct even if he ends up missing more time after the bye..

[EightyNine]

I understand that they may not have conrete answers for certain things, but an explination to why Luke went from hitting sleds, to not stepping on the field, to hitting sleds again, to Ron saying the independent did not clear him, to Luke saying he hasn't met with the independent yet, all of that screams sketchy and weird.

 

According to the responses i've read, not to the majority of people.

Plus, as a head coach, would you want to set a precedent that you are going to answer questions about injuries in detail and explain why players do or dont participate in certain drills? That would get pretty annoying.  Listen to the 31 other coaches.  Most of them give you even less insight than Ron.

Manage your expectations.

I'm not as trim as I used to be. I could lose a solid 50 lbs. But I still got a fine looking woman, a promising career and a team that is 4-0. I got time to work on my wasteline. =] 

People can get back in shape but you can't fix stupid. Someone spill the salt bruh?
