Message: [QUOTE="OrangePA, post: 1942594, member: 204"] I understand the risk of playing football. But rule one is you protect your assets. The Jets didn't run Namath. The Colts didn't run Manning. The Patriots do not run Brady. I understand that in the college game, the QB runs more than in the NFL. But in this instance, there was no need to subject a kid like Dungey - prone to concussion injuries - to that kind of hit. It probably was not a "head shot" in the strictest sense, but that doesn't matter. It is the rattling of the brain inside the cranium that matters. And that hit rattled Eric's brain - it almost snapped his head off. There was no need to run him in that fashion. It was a stupid play call. It has probably ended his career and has ruined any chance this team had for winning two more games. I love Babers but I am extremely upset that he took that kind of chance - especially today, in a game we had no chance of winning. Sorry, but that's how I feel. [/QUOTE]
