A very very smart man once told me years ago, that there's needs to be just as much padding on outside of the helmet as the inside. But since players have too large of ego, it would never happen. League should at least test this, but they then would be admitting fault which is also dumb.

Hell, make the whole helmet all out of padding. Whats the use of the hard shell anyway?

I heard that there are already really good helmets out there that drastically reduce the possibility of a concussion.

The issue involves money, and replacing every crumpled helmet.

Apparently helmets that can crumble provide more protection by far, but there's the cost issue for replacing helmets on every hit.

I don't know, I guess it's better for paint and stickers?? Plus I know F1 drivers get a full head scan and get a helment inner liner that fits perfectly. If you just think about each head is almost like a fingerprint, its unique. Lots of dents, lumps, bumps, some rounder, flat spots, more cruved on back, etc etc. The NFL has been printing money, they could afford some improvement of helmet. Besides a equipment manager looking at you, turns around and hands you a helmet.

As Luke's second concussion displayed, you don't necessarily need contact to the head to sustain a concussion. The equipment is a secondary problem followed by poor tackling mechanics. There's not going to be a method for ridding the game of concussions but they can certainly decrease incidence if they start penalizing improper tackling technique.

That's true, but we also don't know when exactly luke got 1st concussed. I watched both his concussions and plays before. I know in the Jacksonville game, he looked hurt about two plays BEFORE they called team doctors out. Luke has that warrior mentality once he crosses the line, that's a bad thing when you're dealing with head trama. I believe in both cases he was concussed before and stayed out there for more punishment. Just my observations, not concussion neurosurgeon specialist.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      it's pretty simple IMO.  The Tepper Panthers are the most unsuccessful professional sports in all of sports.  The problem isn't the posters here have changed.  The product dictates the atmosphere more than anything.  In reality, the daily convos about THE worst team in all of pro sports on a fanatics site....is going to feature harsh and critical convo.  Only one entity can actually change that.  It's the Carolina Panthers football team.

      Yes message boards will always include that sort of stuff… However, this place has been a cess pool since the team took Bryce Young over CJ Stroud. It becomes a problem when it is accepted and promoted, which it has been here (even by at least one mod). Many posters sole purpose on this board is to try to dunk on others for having different opinions. We just had one write a novella on how talking about Bryce Young’s game winning drives “needs to stop”…after a win. They don’t want real conversation. It “needs to stop”. There are many posters here who literally only show up after losses to dead thread and try to dunk on others about the QB (MRenshaw is an easy example). I really don’t see much of that happening the other way around. There’s too many people that would rather the team be bad so they can feel justified for constant doom and gloom and negative opinions. It’s been pointed out by many over the past couple years. This just isn’t a place to have football discussions anymore because of the constant hyperbole. If you don’t subscribe to “Bryce Young is the worst QB ever who can’t throw the ball further than 5 yards and is the reason why we lose any game we lose and doesn’t help in any game we win”, then you are labeled a Bryce Young Stan.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      if you believe he is watching every NFL game.....every week.....go right ahead.  I get it, he said something you like.  But that's like believing the talking heads on the ESPN shows are watching all the games.  You think Stephen A is watching the Panthers every Sunday too?  If Stephen A needs to go on First Take he certainly can pretend like he has watched every snap any player on the roster has taken lol.   No one is that isn't a Panther fan has been watching the 9-25 career go down every Sunday.  Or even a lot of Sunday's.  You know who knows more about Bryce Young than Long? The collective huddle.  What they are reviewing is stat sheets, highlights and in summaries.  It's an old formula lol.
