Portis to see concussion specialist

[mlmdub130]

^ he actually leads by two votes right now, i just don't get it

[SmootSmack]

I want to see us move on from Portis but not because I want him gone. Far from it. I think he's given a lot to this team, but for the greater good we should move him now because he's on the downward slope of his career in my opinion. Better to get rid of him a year too early than a year too late

Looking at Portis' comments lately, he kinda takes some jabs at the team. On his radio show he said something like "that's the redskins, make everything harder."

I wonder how much Portis is really trying to come back. I don't know anything about recovering from a concussion, but I think you have to wonder if he's really committed to coming back.

I also think Zorn has used this situation to gain control; he's basically said once you practice you can play. It's an ultimatum of sorts. I could see CP deciding to stay out just to spite Zorn for making him come to practice.

I dont know if CP is totally done but now that he's had a concussion its easier for him to get another. I think the Skins should find some way to cut their ties with CP and let some other team take their chances with him.

He's still having issues with blurred vision, that can't be good.

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.

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.

It's usually a short-term side effect (been through it once from a mild basketball concussion).

We need to let him take the rest of the year off and hopefully come back healthy. It was a rough year for CP.


Wonder if he'll come back with one of those ugly Riddel Revolution helmets like Cooley and Peyton Manning wear, they're supposed to help with preventing concussions.

oh boy......

[CantonLegend]

concussions are no joke......most people think that since they are usually not life threatening that its ok to come back from them.....but your brain never really heals from hitting itself against solid bone

everyone that has had a concussion can attest to how serious they actually are.....a few mild headaches can turn into some serious brain damage down the road

as for portis' future with washington.....well.....you know......blah blah blah something important blah blah

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.

To include an image that is not uploaded as an attachment and is located on another website, you can do so by copying the full URL to the image, (not the page on which the image is located), and either pressing the 'Insert Image' icon or by typing [img] before the URL and [/img] after it, ensuring that you do not have any spaces before or after the URL of the image. You can insert pictures from your albums (?) in this way too.

Thank You. Much appreciated.
