Of course the doctors are cautious, we're talking about a head injury a year removed from another very serious one.

He got knocked out for a few minutes. It happens. He was up and talking shortly after he got hit. He's fine. But what happens is the media freaks because of the violence of the hit. It's shown on ESPN over and over and over again. Then he goes out on a stretcher and that makes people freak out even more. The reality is he could have gotten up and walked off the field. I understand the medical staff being as careful as possible. That is the job they have to do and the health of the player comes first. But like I said he's fine and he could probably play next week.
The media likes to play up situations like Andre Waters, Merril Hodge Troy Aikman, Steve Young and Ted Johnson. Some of is legit. But for every case like the guys I mentioned there are hundreds and hundreds of guys that get concussions and they keep on playing. It's just like the whole steriods thing. The media freaks out and creates controversy and most of them that report on it have no clue what they are talking about.
