I would not risk Maurer's health even if the medical staff clears him. The best treatment for a concussion is rest. he gives us the best shot at winning the game, but the risk for him long term is too high.
Once again nobody has said he had 2 concussions you are assuming, and if he had in fact had 2 concussions I doubt he would have been dressed and throwing today. Once again protocol and concussion is 2 different things. The doctors control it all in terms of him playing, it will be doctors and family decision. GBO!!!!!Ya, with two concussions in two weeks he should be out for the season and focused on putting some meat on his bones. There's no sense in risking a teenager's long-term well-being for a season that's lost anyway.
the BM, I see what you did there.In my opinion, Concussions are serious and need to be handled by true professionals. In the same breath, I think that oftentimes they are blown way out of proportion.
It is concerning to me that he has been taken out in 2 consecutive games with supposed concussions.
I would never risk the long term health of any kid to win a game period!
I hope the BM is cleared and play this Saturday because we really need him.
