I've always liked Sam Shields and it was a bummer he got his head rattle so much and perceivedly easy. I was glad the Packers released him. I'm hoping he doesn't mess up his post athlete career with the Rams or any NFL team.

What are you thinking or feeling about Shields continuing his career?

Wish him the best but will feel pretty bad if he gets another concussion. Considering the brain damage risk I don't see why he needs this though. He was paid pretty well for two contracts so probably doesn't need the money.

Great cover guy, I don’t want him in run support.

Well....I think it’s stupid for him to try to play again. He’s seen what it did to older players. Why risk his long term health?
But in the end, it’s up to him and whoever would want to chance putting him on the field. I don’t know why a team would even put themselves in that position. If he gets hurt, they would look bad for putting a guy with such high a risk on the field.

I am not a doctor. I haven't seen his file. I have no idea what his risk factor is.
That said it doesn't seem to be a wise move. With so much concussion awareness/fear by the NFL there must be something behind LA's signing him.

I wish him well.

Q: Is this the type of situation where suffering another concussion would mean you definitely have to walk away? Or can you continue to play if it happens again?

A: Nah, that’s it. That’s a wrap.

Q: So one more concussion and you’re done?

A: Yeah.

A medical report says hecan play....that medical report is right, he CAN play. The question for me would be, is it worth the risk?
True, he could play for several years and not get hurt. But with his concussion history, is that chance worth it?
Ultimately it’s his and the teams choice. I sure wish him well.

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (8-Jan) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (8-Jan) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (8-Jan) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE
