My main concern with the black helmet craze is the impact on hot, sunny days.  That is probably why we won't see them until November.

The only research I have found on the subject of helmet color dealt with motorcycle helmets.  Granted, they are different, but the temperature difference between a dark helmet and a light helmet on a hot, sunny day was quite noticeable. 

There is a reason the Miami Dolphins helmets have always been white.  Someone proposed a aqua helmet several years ago that was popular with the fans but the team shot it down.  Of course, Jacksonville has black helmets, but I'm not sure we want to point to them as a good counterpoint.

Can't say I ever wore a black helmet, but I absolutely remember helmets being frigging miserable in the middle of July or August 😖

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Mel Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL starter too. Just because the experts make a claim doesnt mean it's true either.  Bryce may be a serviceable QB for someone. Serviceable QBs don't bring you a perennial winner or lead you to the playoffs over and over. Serviceable QBs also dont get 50m plus per year deals which is what a Bryce extension would look like.  The stats show he hasn't been even a serviceable QB in the 3 years he's been here. The eye test shows he hasn't put together 2 franchise QB salary games back to back in 3 years.  Complain all you want about people being negative, but people pointing out that Bryce is held to a different standard than anyone else on the team isn't complaining. It's stating the obvious.

      We have big bodied WRs and 3 TEs who all have potential and each bring something different to the table. I never saw the need to go out there and try and find a new starting TE.  While it's nice to have a guy like McBride, Bowers, etc, I think a team's better use of the cap is by having TEs on rookie contracts or cheap vets, not having to pay elite TE money.
