But they are 100% wrong in how to address concussions in regards to youth. Until a thug/Bully mentality is addressed with COACHES, nothing changes.

Coaches pull the 'get back in there or you're a pussy' bull poo way too much. The kids safety needs to be #1. Too many times kids either get back on the field way too soon or still injured. Why? Because the coach will ridicule the poo outta them.

Madden will never influence a young football player like a coach will. I know from first hand experience many of these kids from all walks of life have no father figure and turn to coach to have one. Teach them to be tough for sure, but teach them to be smart as well.

you just want a no fun league!1!12

You're right. The biggest problem with this push the NFL Is making is it is basically changing the entire way players think about when to play the game almost, but they're only doing it at the very top level. That's not going to be that effective; it's actually going to cause quite a bit of resentment imo. Change also needs to occur at lower levels as well.

Here is the bottom line...money. The owners are going to pussify the league because they aren't going to keep paying out more and more millions to retired players.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.

      Good response. In reference to your second paragraph, many Huddlers are just haters when it comes to certain people.
