Black helmets plz!!!

Not possible. NFL rules state you can't switch helmets during the season in order to limit concussion risk because the fear is that in changing them some players may not get a helmet that fits as well as the they wear on a regular basis. It's probably overly cautious but the NFL really can't be too careful with the concussion stuff since it threatens the existence of the game of football.

Clearly you haven't been around here long.

This seems like one of those things that sounds true because it somewhat makes sense, but isn't why things are the way they are...

Which is absurd because helmets have little impact on the occurrence concussions, nor are they designed to.

I believe, though I'm not 100% on it, that it has been shown that a properly fitting helmet lessens the risk of a concussion more so than a helmet that does not fit properly. Basically if it doesn't fit snugly then that is an extra collision your head can make when hit violently.

    • The Bucs waived shilo sanders after he got ejected. 
    • I'm just tired of ppl saying he's so accurate and then have to see recievers slow down to recieve the ball, ruining any chance at YAC
    • Some people will really look at stuff like this and say "no more excuses" but then make excuses to try and explain away the validity of big-time throws. 🙃   Back on topic though, as I mentioned in the other AT thread earlier, I hope that the team is still exploring the deal. If the Vikings want the Panthers to take on some of the salary, then it had better be at worst a 4th-round pick (though I imagine Dan angling for a 3rd). If they're willing to take on all of it, then maybe at worst a 5th. Tough pill to swallow, giving up a 4th for a 35yr old WR, but if MIN believes they can have similar success behind McCarthy then it could be a smart deal for them. Hell, if AT has any gas in the tank and gives them a 1yr sweetheart deal to close out at home, even better for Minnesota. Yea, Bryce loses his best and most reliable WR. Hunter Renfrow though isn't what I would call a huge step down though (if he's as advertised throughout camp), and it gives more reps to TMac + XL + Coker. This season is all about continued development and answering some of the looming questions (Is Bryce the guy? Is Evero the DC going fwd? How do the young WRs develop? How long does it take this defense to bounce back from being historically awful?).
