If you're a WR would you rather get a concussion going over the middle or a torn up knee?

[LurkMoar]

I'd take the torn up knee over concussions and it's not even close. The long term effects from concussions just isn't worth it. What's the purpose of having millions when you won't be able to remember what you spent it on?

you not making millions with that knee torn up, most likely out for a year and a half then cut a couple seasons later

Concussion. The knew could end your career. A rookie wr with a torn up knee, hell naw.

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

Concussion please

 

[OneManGang]

Depending on how bad the concussion is, one of them is enough. I have played sports btw and torn my knee and I'd still take that over concussions long term.

I hate making generalizations like that, but I can’t imagine anyone choosing a torn up knee over a concussion. The pain, the rehab, the long term consequences all seem way higher than with a concussion.

There are more long term consequences in a concussion (depending on how bad it is) than a torn knee. We are talking about the difference between brain damage and leg damage. I'm speaking from my opinion personally.

Yep, played from pee wee up to high school. Dlineman rotated between tackle and end.

So have you read the studies of how cte in the nfl is in line with the general population of non football players.

Well that explains your brain damage

 

[Why]

Not even a fair question

a concussion vs a torn up knee
3 weeks off max vs maybe a whole season

nah

Lol, tells me more about you, you seem unable to rationally explain your position having to resort to child like name calling to express yourself

Look at it this way. With a concussion, at least you will have the option of continuing to keep playing, retire early or simply walking away now.

With a knee, there is a high probability that you won't play again at all, and if you do, you may never be the same again.

Even with the worst concussion your brain capacity isn’t really affected permanently. Over time and with multiple then you have a point. If you’re worried about one concussion then you probably got hit by an actual truck and in that case a concussion would be a great outcome. One knee injury, even with modern medicine can affect you long term.

That's a general assumption and even you know that especially in a high impact sport like football. It's rather weird how people are downplaying the concept of concussions and their long term effects.

AD totally changed the thinking of coming back after a knee blowout. Man blew his shyt out came back and ran for 2K

Dalvin tore his ACL and came back like it happened

The purpose for most is to leave their family in a better position. That’s why so many guys are so willing to risk their health.

It’s actually not general. No scientific evidence that one concussion has permanent or debilitating mental side effects.
