Pro Football Focus diagnoses Kevin Kolb

[DoTheDew]

This might be one of the dumbest things ive ever read. I dont know if you know this but you cant help if you get a concussion or not. Just because Warner got hit and got up and played makes no difference, if he got a concussion he wouldnt be able to play either. There are rules about that in the NFL. If you get driven to the ground you are helpless in regards to your head smacking the ground. It doesnt matter if we had the badest dude in the world he cant play with a concussion. You cant call Kolb injury prone because he had a concussion from being driven to the ground from behind with his arms trapped so he couldnt break his fall.

Sorry but some players are more fragile then others. That is a fact. You can cut it however you want. I've seen Farve take hits far worse then that and not get a concussion. Some players are just plain physically tougher. Call it dumb if you want it's a factual statement.

Edit: and this isn't the only time Kolb has been hurt. In 2009 he sprained his MCL in training camp which is what inspired the Eagles to sign Vick to begin with.

Your right each person is different, for example in training in MMA I come across guys who you couldnt knock out if you hit them on the jaw with a baseball bat and then there are guys who i have seen get knocked out with a fall away jab. Head injuries dont describe someones toughness just their genetic make up.

That doesn't make sense. The guy who doesn't get knocked out is tough. The guy with a glass jaw is not tough.

That's like saying, he's tough but he just gets hurt really easily.

You obviously have no idea what your talking about. You cant help if you have a glass jaw plain and simple. The reason a person gets knocked out is because the brain gets shaken from a blow to the head. What is tough is when someone is in an armbar and doesnt tap until his arm brakes or when he is in a choke and passes out instead of tapping out. You are confusing toughness and anatomy.

 

[moklerman]

You really want to argue that a guy who gets knocked out every time he steps in the ring is tough?

Sure, it comes down to physiology but the guys who are more susceptible to getting knocked out, concussions, sprained ankles, broken fingers...and are constantly hurt, are NOT considered "tough".
