[quote=freddyg12;630513]Sounds really serious long-term, but I don't know anything about concussions. Anyone know if blurred vision is typical this long after the incident?

My cynical side wonders if he's really having any problems or he's just in a standoff w/Zorn who's told him once he practices he can play. So, he's just sitting out.[/quote]

CP isn't that much of a moron to take it that far. He may not like to practice, but I can't see him taking it to that much of an extreme.

Here is my issue. Some people can post pictures....others can't. How did you do this. I'm told pictures can't be posted and never could and that all we can do is post a link. ??????

Here's the explanation from the FAQ here, pretty much what I've told you previously, sorry I don't know how else to explain it. It's pretty straight forward.

Re: Portis to see concussion specialist
 

portis is a lazy m-fer who only cares about money.

If the doc said he can play, he should be out there. He doesn't love the game, he loves his money.

I hope his Skins career is over.

Sorry but you're wrong here, one doctor may have cleared him but that's not enough:

In his weekly radio appearance on ESPN 980, Portis said he can't return to action until he receives clearance from specialists at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, who first evaluated Portis on Nov. 20.

kind of like the docs that cleared westbrook? cause that was the right call

When it comes to head injuries, I'm not going to fault someone for being overly cautious.

ok, if thats the case, thats fine.

I don't fault anyone for listening to the DRs.

Re: Portis to see concussion specialist
 

Yeah, the league has a new policy that you have to visit an independent doctor outside of the NFL, and be cleared by both.

I think that's a good policy too.

Maybe he loves being alive?

Re: Portis to see concussion specialist
 

I hope he just stays out the rest of the year because besides the concussion, he still isn't playing like Cartwright, Mason or Ganther IMO.

Don't know if it's because he's hurt or because he's just lot a step finally, but I'd like to keep him out, get him healthy and MAYBE keep him next year depending on how he looks in TC.

Just saw on ESPN that Portis still hasn't been cleared and will be visiting the Pitt Medical Center. Not sure if this his second visit or the first one you mentioned here.

But it's starting to look like Clinton Portis won't be returning this season.

Re: Portis to see concussion specialist
 

If I were the Skins I would just IR Portis at this point. There is no point in bringing him back this year.

Re: Portis to see concussion specialist
 

i wouldnt believe anything that comes out of Portis' mouth. wait to hear it from an official redskins source before buying into his b.s.

so if the doctor clears you, and you are sitting out "just to be safe". I dont buy it for a minute.

The team Dr. cleared him, but he needs to be cleared from an outside source before he can return. That's what he is waiting on.

What don't you buy? It's league policy to have two doctors clear you? Have you ever had a concussion? Specifically, a football concussion?

Re: Portis to see concussion specialist
 

[quote=Mattyk72;636488]If I were the Skins I would just IR Portis at this point. There is no point in bringing him back this year.[/quote]

Totally. He's done for the year in my opinion.

Re: Portis to see concussion specialist
 

^ At this point the season's done. Portis has other injuries besides his concussion. If I was in a position of authority (Portis little buddy, DS) I would tell Portis to go get the foot fixed or whatever was wrong with it and fix up whatever else was giving him problems and sit out the rest of the year and get healthy for next. I would advise him that next year is going to be different. All players will practice and all players will participate. If they don't participate they will be riding the bench. If they ride the bench for too long said player would be subject to getting traded if possible. Plus with an uncapped year possibly in the future it would be in his (Portis's) best interest to get healthy and be ready to take some punishment vs. avoiding playing cause he's affraid of getting hurt. If your that easily hurt it's time to hang up the cleats. We need players who will be actually practicing so the Offensive side of the ball are all on the same page with each other.

Re: Portis to see concussion specialist
 

And if you don't practice, the crowd will chant for you to be gone. And we'll rent a pickup truck with signs on it saying "Fire CP!" LOL

Not sure if you just making fun or making fun of me....:) but either way I like it. I'm just tired of the prima dona's on this team saying ..." I don't like preseason cause it's pointless", no it's not pointless. It's so all the players can get work "together" and the coach's can evaluate talent. Now if you suck or are starting to suck or are someone who is starting to get injured easily due to age...then you would not want to play in preseason. Instead of renting the P/U truck can we rent a U-Haul and pack his crap for him?

Agreed; especially if he does have to practice for a week before we play him. I don't see the point in keeping him active one bit.

Re: Portis to see concussion specialist
 

I'm not sure what to think about this. Seeing how the season is going my gut tells me he's not rushing to get back on the field. But I think it's time for us to go in another direction. With the injuries to CP and Betts I think this proves that RB is the most replacable position in football.

Re: Portis to see concussion specialist
 

If sellers can't go sunday and Portis can I don't bench the kids lol I put portis in at fullback yes fullback he can catch and i'm sure he can still block.

Re: Portis to see concussion specialist
 

The NFL has been really active in looking at player concussions this year and holding players out of subsequent games after sustaining these concussions. It's good to see. I look at a lot of these old decrepit players and wonder if the money was really worth it.

Re: Portis to see concussion specialist
 

No matter what he needs to be back next year.

AND WE NEED TO DRAFT A BEAST RB. PERIOD.

And a damn coach with a run philosophy and CP would be an excellent veteran fit with a beast Rookie we draft.

but thats just my opinion.

Re: Portis to see concussion specialist
 

Portis visited a concussion specialist but he [I]saw[/I] concussion specialists.
