With all respect, don't believe that is fair at all.

If you're talking about the sensationalism in some of Bud's columns, then yes. But we know Bud is Bud and I don't think anyone takes him seriously.

Syracuse.com reported in November that Eric's injury was not career-ending, and that the second opinion had only to do with whether he would return within the 2016 season. This was attributed to an anonymous source. Some speculated that source to be the Dungey family. With the current article, I would say the people who speculated such were very smart people.

Syracuse.com also went deep into the concussion issue and reported that many doctors, including one attending the Pittsburgh Steelers, said they would not disqualify a player purely based on the number of concussions -- the issue is much more nuanced and depends on severity, etc.

Just to be clear, I have no connection whatsoever to syracuse.com, except that I hate to see the messenger blamed  -- and especially in a case where what they've reported is quite the opposite of what's being said on this board.

Glad Eric is OK, but once again, to my knowledge the only people who have ended his career are the Holiday Inn Express doctors on this board and on syracuse.com.
