No, Uncle Charlie, No No No No

Yeah, it's like that. If you've got doctors already telling you to retire due to concussions, I want no part of you. Nope, nope, nope.

He also had doctors telling him he could come back and play, which he did....and played very well with no issues. He is also the best pass rusher in this draft.  Guess the big question is what are the Viking doctors going to tell him?  

With Darrisaw still available.

when i read this thread title I want to merge this thread with the one on US Gymnastics.

This is a great watch on Phillips

I wouldn't take him off the board, but his risk has to be factored into his draft position. 2nd round he'd be worth the risk. He's the best pure pass rusher in this draft IMO. 1st round is a little hard to swallow. But like Tua last year, I'm betting a handful of teams will take him off their boards.

I'd be shocked to see him drop out of the top 20 picks personally. Here's my issue with the considered top pass rushers in this draft:

Phillips- Just medical, because he is the best pure pass rusher by a mile.

Rousseau- Might be better suited as a 3-4 DE.  I don't see enough pure explosion and first step quickness to think he can be an effective every down rusher from the DE position. 

Paye- Mostly garbage time production and it was minimal.  Not enough game changing type plays. 

They all have questions but if I'm going to roll the dice I'd do so on Phillips because his skill at the position is not in question and he fit's what we do the best
