Concussion, from the Latin concutere ("to shake violently")[1] or concussus ("action of striking together"),[2] is the most common type of traumatic brain injury. The terms mild brain injury, mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI), mild head injury (MHI), minor head trauma, and concussion may be used interchangeably,[3][4] although the last is often treated as a narrower category.[5] Although the term "concussion" is still used in sports literature as interchangeable with "MHI" or "MTBI", the general clinical medical literature now uses "MTBI" instead.[6] In this article, "concussion" and "MTBI" are used interchangeably. Frequently defined as a head injury with a temporary loss of brain function, concussion causes a variety of physical, cognitive, and emotional symptoms, which may not be recognized if subtle.
Treatment involves monitoring as well as physical and cognitive rest (reduction of such activities as school work, playing video games and text messaging).[7] Symptoms usually resolve within three weeks, though they may persist or complications may occur.[8]
Those who have had one concussion seem more susceptible to another, especially if the new injury occurs before symptoms from the previous concussion have completely resolved.[9] There is also a negative progressive process in which smaller impacts cause the same symptom severity.[7] Repeated concussions may increase the risk in later life for dementia, Parkinson's disease, and/or depression.[9]
A variety of signs accompany concussion including somatic (such as headache), cognitive (such as feeling in a fog), emotional (such as emotional changeability), physical signs (such as loss of consciousness or amnesia), behavioral changes (such as irritability), cognitive impairment (such as slowed reaction times), and/or sleep disturbances.[7] Fewer than 10% of sports-related concussions among children are associated with loss of consciousness.[10]
Due to varying definitions and possible underreporting, the rate at which concussion occurs annually is not accurately known, but is estimated to be more than 6 per 1,000 people.[11] Common causes include sports injuries, bicycle accidents, car accidents, and falls, the latter two being the most frequent causes among adults.[12] In addition to a blow to the head, concussion may be caused by acceleration forces without a direct impact, and on the battlefield, MTBI is a potential consequence of nearby explosions.[13]
It is not known whether the brain in concussion is structurally damaged or whether there is mainly a loss of function with only physiological changes.[14][needs update] Cellular damage has reportedly been found in concussed brains, but it may have been due to artifacts from the studies.[15] It is currently thought that structural and neuropsychiatric factors may both be responsible for the effects of concussion.[16]

So during Mariota's three years of starting you couldn't find and develop a QB that could A) See over the line. Not have to look like someone trying to throw a body over a bridge rail to push the ball past 25 yards. C) Have an inkling of speed to be a running threat which is the key to the balance of the offense???
Masoli was twice the player Adams is and Masoli wasn't good. What does that make Adams?
Quooks will praise him as he will win the North. Any QB on the Duck roster would win the north and make a gas station bowl. The upside is they'd have a year of experience under their belt heading into next season. Now no one is being developed while we head to the gas station bowl.
You're entitlement is showing. Tuck it in.
The moral of the story is that Mariotas don't grow on trees. And the Ducks weren't going to the CFB playoff this year anyway. The Ducks are an excellent Football program but unlike the Bamas and Ohio States of the world they wil need an all world QB to win a championship. The Ducks have the ridiculous depth at the skill spots but you also need ridiculous depth on the lines to be CFB contenders year in and year out. They're not there yet

It would help if they had a coach anywhere near Meyer or Saban's level too.
