One of the first four teams to push neck protectors. Good on you dundon. 

Staals interview was more "wear it if you want" we will see if he has one...

 

Probably should be mandatory but they do heat you up. It was a pretty freak accident (happened twice in over 100 years) but I unfortunately saw the clip and I'll tell you if I was playing I'd be wearing it.

 

*edit* I've been watching the NHL for 20 years and I've never seen a foot get that high.

It was intentional. Obviously. If you’ve seen the clip. 
 

that said I disagree I think Staal was like ya it’s coming we’ll get used to it. “I probably won’t be in the league long enough for it to matter” was the vibe I got.

Yeah I got the feeling it was that guy should face manslaughter at the least.

    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
    • there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.   
    • In 6 games, we've only had 6 hurries??? ... that can't be accurate
