My prayers are with RG3 and all those involved in this situation; especially his family.

I've been noticing a great deal of concern, frustration and finger pointing the last few days. All understandable under the circumstances.

However I believe the NFL has a procedural problem here that needs to be addressed sooner than later. Decisions on a players health should be in the sole hands of an independent medical team; not an athelete or a coach in the heat of 'battle'. Medical conditions should be vetted and decided by medical professionals not caught up in the warrior mentality of the moment. I hope the NFL approaches these medical issues on a league level and delivers a sound policy and procedure to protect those who should not be on the field due to medical conditions that happen as part of the game. Just my 2 cents...
