Thanks for sharing, that was pretty damn good. I don't think he holds much ill will towards the Packers, other than just wishes they would have talked to him first, instead of going through his agent. I honestly think that was probably a Ted Thompson thing. I don't think Brian G would handle it that way. Either way, good read.

My point was more so that it sure sounds like the NFL still has a lot to learn about how to treat concussions

We don't know, but benefit of doubt goes AGAINST the Packers for some reason. It's incredible to me how people do this while claiming to be fans. Do we worry so much about being called green an gold goggles that we can't consider the Packers MAY have done right and the player ignored it?

Too many players have spoken out in favor of how cautious Pat McKenzie is for me to think the Packers told Sam Shields to just sit in a dark room, no electronics and cry until you have to call your mom.

The Packers did the right thing by cutting him. This allowed him to focus on getting better and rehabbing his brain.
