Would You Shut Down Denzel Ward or Baker Mayfield?
-
Yeah but what if that one makes him decide to retire. I love the kid but i rather him get a concussion now if he decides to retire than in week 1 next year and he decide to retire. We know CB is an issue if he does and even if he comes back depth is a concern. Like i said love him he's probably my favorite defensive player on the team but he needs to practice rugby style tackling if he is going to keep playing and if he hangs it up due to concussions I don't blame him.
How may ccs does he have? He doesnt strike me as the retiring type. I think you need a xanax. Your jumpin the gun. Don Beebe is still alive...relax

I thought this was his third this year. But here he says that last one was his first
As far as the Xanax comment. When you are under 25 like he is your brain is still developing and one concussion is bad but having another on the first shot to your head after sitting out for two weeks due to a concussion is absolutely awful and scary. He's a smart kid and already has enough wealth don't be surprised if he doesn't really consider retirement.

The more Baker plays the better off this team will be. He needs to gain experience as a QB and with the talent on the field with him. The only reason I would have given him the week off is if the team had won the division. Weighing injury vs. experience I would prefer the experience. He appears to be getting better each week.
As for Ward, sitting him if he is not 100% post concussion would be in the best interest of all parties.

And what was wrong with the tackle?
I'm going to go with I told you so. The hit did not even involve his head. His head just snapped to the side and that was enough.

I wouldnt let Ward back on to the field until he knows how to properly tackle and protect himself...

The head snap did it.
Love the toughness but Ward shouldn't have been out there today.

There probably is no choice with Ward next week

PLain Dealer is reporting Wards injury was a shoulder.

Yep. I think he took a forearm to the chin or a shoulder. Head snapped back and goodnight. I'm officially worried. Why he continues to go high, I don't know.

Not that I'm HAPPY if it's a shoulder, but I certainly don't want another concussion.

I'd be shocked, but very happy if that was the case. He looked like he was counting to potato after that hit in the face

Williams said he was in protocol I thought.

Well I certainly hope it isn't protocol again because that would be three times right? One more could spell the end of the career.

Well according to ward the one in preseason must have just been ba stinger. He said early December that one was his first and this makes two.

Sounds like whistling past the graveyard.
Personally I'm concerned.

Gregg Williams mentioned that Denzel Ward was progressing through the concussion protocol, and then I had a thought, "Is it even worth bringing him back?" If we're out of the playoff race, we've only got two games left, and I'm pretty sure this is Denzel's 2nd concussion (I could be wrong), is it even worth playing him this year considering concussions are easier to get once you've had one, AND they're literally a brain injury? If it were me, I'd sit him down. He's shown me enough, and I want him to get healthy and also protect his melon. He'll be ready to kick azz next year.
I've also heard an argument that we should sit Baker Mayfield because we're out of the playoffs and why risk an injury when you're a team that hasn't had a franchise QB in 20 years, and we FINALLY have one? At first I scoffed at the idea of sitting Baker, but then the nightmare of "What happens if he gets hurt?" started creeping in my mind, and I about threw up, LMAO. In all seriousness, I would most certainly NOT sit Baker. If we had locked up the playoffs and we couldn't improve our seating in week 17, that's one thing. I could see sitting some starters like the Steelers and other teams have done over the years. But Baker is a rookie, and while he's playing well, he still has much to learn and the best way to learn is to play. Also, I seriously doubt Baker WOULD sit out if the coaches told him to, hahaha.

Telling The Baker to set, because the Browns are out of the PO's, won't fly with Bake. He's a true old school leader, live or die with my guys.
