    Dude, you're awesome but hang it up. You've got your whole life in front of you.

      I doubt it. I think this was purely done as a precaution.

        If he really sustained another one, he's got to retire.

          Not really.

            FYI, Larry Foote was once heavily recruited by BYU, even though I don't think they were even close to getting him.

                He will continue to get them... for his health, I think he should retire as well. Very sad, as he could have been a solid receiver playing with the big boys.

                  I think it was established that he was a solid receiver playing with the big boys. Dude demonstrated he had the skills with one of the most demanding QB's to ever play in the league.

                    Not a fan, but there is more to life than football, and he is way too young to put his physical and mental health at such a great risk. Tough situation, I hope he is ok.

                      I didn't see the hit, did Foote target the head?

                          Somewhere in the middle of the Peyton Manning-Jim Irsay psychodrama, the Colts owner suggested he could not, in all good conscience, allow an injured Manning to return to the football field and possibly hurt himself in a long-term way.

                          Now, I have to ask this question:
                          How can the Colts, who presumably care about the long-term health of Austin Collie, allow the team’s oft-concussed wide receiver to return to the football field in a Colts uniform?

                          Clearly, Collie is not going to make the most difficult decision an athlete will ever have to make by himself.

                          So the Colts need to make it for him.

                          They need to waive him.

                          They need to make a bold, brash statement, tell Collie and the NFL, “We will not be party to the possible long-term decline of a player we care deeply about. He may play in another team’s uniform; that’s ultimately his decision — hopefully his informed decision. But we know what repeated concussions can do to a person, and we will not stand idly by as this terrific young guy mortgages his long-term future in pursuit of short-term gains.”

                          That sounds harsh. Because it is harsh.

                          But somebody in today’s NFL has got to stand up for players who are ill-equipped, and disinclined, to stand up for themselves.

                              I like how everyone is making decisions for Austin. It's his own life at risk. Let him take the risk. His Dream his consequences Good/Bad
