Andrew Luck walk away from the game. He said that was the best decision in his life.

Shannon said it best, what is the point in $200M if you can't recognize your family, friends and anyone you care about? What's the point in all this money if you cannot enjoy your hard work? He has to think about his quality of life after the game of football.

The difference is Tua is getting concussions form love taps, they’re not even hard hits, they’re regular tackles

[Mike-sd]

Man is only 26. Has his entire life ahead of him. Don't be foolish. Live the rest of your life healthy and enjoy your money

[charliegarcia]

Another 20 years later RC will appreciate Mike even more. The older you get, the more you appreciate the health.

[kencade]

Stephen and Ryan Clark is talking crazy. I don't wanna see Tua get knocked out again. Forget the money.

It’s times like this where Talk shows should bring in doctors to guide the conversation by explaining the true severity of the situation along with the others takes…

Prayers up for Tua Tagovailoa! Damar Hamlin speaking out and showing support is a class act.

Tua had 5 concussions since his rookie year in Alabama, 2 in Alabama. And against the bills, bengals and packers. It’s crazy how the media downplays this

[RashaadOwens]

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT ANDREW LUCK!? HE WALKED AWAY FROM THE GAME & HE SAID IT WAS THE BEST DECISION OF HIS LIFE!

When I was in college, one of my classmates died in a tragic car accident. Our other classmate worked with her and a week after her death, she was offered her position.

The NFL is still a business. Tua, God bless his heart, needs to bow out gracefully.

It sucks and it’s unfortunate but if something happens to him today, they already have his replacement.

I’m not even a Dolphins fan but I would say this to any athlete. There is no amount of money worth your health.

His fanbase will appreciate what he brought to the game and he has accomplished what so many only dream of.

I admire athletes who are resilient. There was a time I thought Derek Rose should give up too. And I’m glad it worked out for him but football requires more physical contact and I wouldn’t risk it

[Rayz]

If tua is medically forced to retire he’s guaranteed 124 mill.

It's time to walk away Tua!!! Much love!! Praying for you and your family!! Much respect!!!❤

[joshualup]

He has millions and millions. Just let it go and be healthy

[blowadogg]

RC - “we’re built different”

That’s why players need to be protected from themselves

[fullthrottle]

Never said this but I played football for years and had a headache after every game had 2 concussions my second one was so bad like really bad . And sense then my mood has changed and my mind in ways you can’t imagine. I’m praying for tua !

200 million doesn't mean anything if you're dead

[claudiooliva]

Mike McDaniels seems like he's stoned every time he talks

[jjcarver]

Tua is a grown man. It’s not up to anyone else but him.

[chrisgrozelle]

GENERATIONAL WEALTH CANNOT BUY HEALTH . HE HAS MORE THAN ENOUGH MILLIONS TO LIVE AN INCREDIBLE LIFE WITH HIS FAMILY . WALK AWAY TUA WILL BE GLAD THAT YOU DID
