Problem is - I am not a medical doctor. 
 
I would be very conservative.  If it means we lose games - but Tebow recovers more fully - I have no problem with that.  Tebow is too special of a person to rush back into football and risk problems later on. 
 
What I would do is to get at least two or three expert doctors opinions.  And probably go with the most conservative opinion. 
 
Have his family involved in the decision.
 
I guess my point is - take the decision away from Tim himself.  I am afraid Tim would rush things. 
 
If you consult 3 doctors that are experts on sports concussions and they all three agree that Tim can play at LSU - and Tim wants to - then I'd let him play.  But if one doctor out of the three suggests holding him out - I would probably hold him out.

So what do you suggest?

Not trying to give you a hard time, but how do you think it should be handled?

If you don't believe him when he says he's OK and he always says that, do you just retire his jersey right now?

Do you make him answer all questions with his hand on a bible?

Do you ask the medical staff what their opinion is?

Or is there some other way that hasn't occurred to me yet?

We know that tebow keeps telling Meyer he is okay and we find out there were major injuries later.
 
How do you know if Tebow is being 100% truthful with doctors and not just telling them what they want to hear?
