The Farce of Protocol

The NFL Concussion Protocol is becoming a joke. Texans QB Tom Savage took a brutal hit on an incomplete pass on third down in their game against the 49er's. He appeared dazed and his hand was twitching.

Medical staff examined him and cleared his return. He was ineffective during the next series before getting pulled and replaced by T.J. Yates.

Social media lit up with all sorts of critical comments. Any player who has a twitching hand should not be allowed to keep playing. What were they thinking?
