Or maybe ED has a high propensity for head injuries and it doesn't matter who coaches. I realize that's not going to fit the collective meme but ED may be highly susceptible to concussions, in which case the issue is not whether Shafer should or should not have left him in but whether he should play football at all.

If it wasn't in the fourth quarter today, it would have been at some other point. The score didn't really matter. This was going to happen sooner or later -- worst case/he is concussion prone. The HC can't be walking on egg shells about whether his QB might get a concussion on the next hit. If SS takes him a few plays earlier because he thinks ED is prone to concussions, is it really responsible to put him back in seven days later when the score is 0-0?

There are multiple layers of tissue and nerves between hair and grey matter and the world's best doctors don't know exactly why some people get concussions and others don't. It's never clear cut. Shafer is not to blame for his head injury. I realize that's not what people want to hear now. Sorry.
