I definitely believe that you sit him for this game. Did I read somewhere that said if Tebow was in the MMA he wouldn't be allowed to fight for a month? Two weeks after taking a vicious blow against an aggressive defense is just rolling the dice in my opinion.
From College Football News...
All of a sudden, everyone has become a neurologist and knows what?s wrong with Tim Tebow?s bruised brain and what needs to be done to make sure it?s fine and able to withstand the punishment of playing football again. What no one seems to be talking about are the non-football ramifications. Because Florida plays a monster game at LSU on Saturday night, that CBS is giving the primetime spot for in place of whatever dopey CSI Whispering Mentalist thing it normally would?ve showed, Tebow?s injury is being analyzed and scrutinized like he was a pro. Forget about playing football; how about trying to concentrate in the classroom (and I mean this for all players who suffer a concussion and now necessarily Tebow, who's only taking one class)?
Lost in the world of college football is that injured players still have to study, walk to class, sit in class, try to learn, and try to lead a normal student life. Try doing any of those things after suffering a major concussion. Try sitting through an extended lecture for over an hour with a throbbing shoulder with pain that isn?t going away even after taking ten Advil. Try writing notes or typing on a computer with sore fingers that have been jammed and banged on over and over again. Try focusing on absorbing the material when you have a bruised rib that you feel every time you breathe.
We?ve all had injuries, aches, and pains of some sort that make life hard, but concussions are at another level. This is all about the doctors when it comes to Tebow, and it?s all about making sure the next 60 years of his life are spent with a clear mind and without the horrors of being sensitive to light, headaches, mood swings, memory loss, and all the other problems that are certain to follow. But Tebow is at the University of Florida to play football, and football players live with concussions and injuries. Just remember that the next time you question whether or not they?re supposed to be treated just like regular students.
