Tua has to retire...

[KingKolzig]

Mcdaniel such a creeper. Idiot too left stars in the game during 45-13 blowoutss last year and they all got hurt. Genius!

The Dolphins should show everyone they are a classy organization by paying Tua every penny he’s due and then some and then greatly encourage him to hang up his cleats to preserve what’s left of his health

maybe half wager and give him a coaching job? They are on the hook for millions to TUA. to pay him all of that is asking a lot.

By the way some athletes just don’t know how to dip, twist, and turn to avoid or minimize contact

Warrick Dunn & Barry Sanders two of the best all time at this

It’s all about money he’s not giving it up

Make it sound like if he walks away right now he hasn't made at LEAST 50 million. There would be some type of injury settlement but the team signed that deal knowing damn well this could happen. If he is in "need" of money then that just further proves the impact of the 3 concussions he already had.

 

[djefferis]

It’s going to be a very serious decision for him in off season.

Given he has already taken lessons in martial arts to learn to hit the ground without hitting his head - I suspect he leans to the take the money and walk - at least for a year.

Never dealt with concussions - but had a family member who did playing HS football - had a TON of them - the thing about concussions is each one comes easier and easier. By the time you’re at 4 in a career - you’ve likely had a few dozen “unofficial” concussions. Going to seriously mess himself up if he continues.

A lot of it’s just the way he plays - you can’t unlearn things you’ve done for 12-15 years. You’ve been the most physically gifted player on most every team you played on pre NFL and you play like it - running guys over. Thing is in the NFL - that gap doesn’t exist and it will get you killed. Teams are learning this and de-emphasizing guys who play with that all out wreck less abandon.

Watching Tua at this point is like playing Russian Roulette. You know its going to happen again and the end result. He has 4 empty bullet chambers and two left with a bullet. Everyone is not built to be a career professional athlete. The average career is still less than 4 years. We all know how this is going to end. You can’t play this sport being hesitant. Tua can’t take professional football hits anymore. The next sack takes him out for good. Its just a 15 yard penalty and a first down.

He retired today?

 

[BigJay]

Wonder if Tua would get paid in full?

You think he’d have to have a big ass insurance policy

 

[BigJay]

He retired today?

I remember @jjgold ’s third concussion.

Everybody thought he’d retire.

By the fourth one he was more wacky than ever.

The faculties he has left are what remains.

 

[livelucky13]

I played golf with his high school coach today in Vegas. He and Tua speak all the time and will suggest him to retire.

 

[Wagerallsports]

Sounds like once again he doesn't want to retire

Seems odd that he met with all of his family and they couldn't convince him or didn't want to (greedy fu@ks)

 

[jjgold]

I guess it’s all about money

+300 if he kills himself or one of those family members in the next decade.

In his mind, he's a true leader. Leading by example

 

[KVB]

Nah man, I think that's bullshit, or at least part bullshit. He loves the game.

He needs to learn there will be life after football and how to make a transistion.

I think we all agree it would be much better if he steps down on his own, whenever that may be, and isn't forced to after the next big hit.

 

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Force Tua to retire and sign that hunk Jimmy G!

Ewww gross he’s absolute trash. Imagine losing 10K on the game that ended Tua’s career ? Yeah I’m that guy LMFAO the curse is brewing for me.

 

[baz]

Ewww gross he’s absolute trash.

He was even garbage when he played for the Utes. Still can't believe he has covered games in the NFL. Big games too.
