If youv'e had problems with your neck to the extent Stevens has, then to get any type of re-occurance, you would have to have rocks in your head to take the risk of playing again.
I wish no harm on anyone but if he plays he knows the risk he is taking, no matter what advise he receives.
As a person I wouldn't wish any harm on a person just because he plays for scum, on the other hand because he does well tough titties, same goes for Judd
