Completely agree that if the doctors are iffy and it's just Jones that is pushing for it you sit him. I would need both the doctors and Jones himself to give me the all-clear. Risking aggravating a neck injury is different from risking aggravating an ankle, clearly.

No, and no. We are talking about the neck here.

Is Mayfield playing? Then "no" !

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on October 11, 2023, 01:13:42 PMAgain if I were the HC, I would lean heavily on the team doctors and other medical professionals who have examined/tested him. In no way would I be supportive of endangering him (beyond the normal, accepted risks of the sport for any player), no matter the stakes. But if the docs gave me the all clear and Jones himself told me he was fully comfortable playing and wanted to, I would play him, yes.

Definitely play him if he's cleared by the doctors.  I doubt the doctor's will clear him if there were any dangers beyond the normal risk.

The Giants season isn't over yet though it's trending in the wrong direction and you want to play everyone who is cleared to go and try to win the game rather than punt it.
