The world is still full of dangerous jobs where people risk life and limb and know the risks, but in the NFL if someone like Eifert sits out 2 games and it means he plays an additional 3 hypothetical seasons I would say the system may be helpful for players, teams, and fans.
I guess the real question is now that you KNOW the NFL is going to enforce this BS concussion protocol are you willing to accept it and keep watching, or are you going to find something less regulated to watch?
There is no way to know whether sitting out 1 week, 2 weeks, etc is the right amount of time. It depends on the person. These protocol situations just leave people sitting out a set amount of time .... Could be too much .... Could be not enough. Only ones who know is the person and their doctors.
I don't mind if Eifert says hey I'm gonna take 2 weeks to make sure. It's his call:
Heck we have a RB in Atlanta in the concussion. Protocol for slipping is his shower. This is insane.
