“If you took the damn helmets off, it would help a lot. But they will never do it because they are supposedly for safety. But they cause more injuries. Tough call.”

I think that there’s a lot of evidence that they need to work more on the helmets. Some people think that going back to leather helmets would work, but compare the size/strength of these modern-day players with players in the 20’s/30’s. These are GIANTS compared to them, and MUCH stronger and faster.

Perhaps the size/strength modern-day players has exceeded the size that they can really protect themselves from injury.

And in turn making quarterback an almost impossible position to play.
