Concussion Expert Chris Nowinski Says NFL Guardian Caps Are A ‘Scam’

IDK why the NFL isn’t looking into the Q collar more

If they cared about player safety they would model it after Rugby. Those guys don’t get concussed because you feel the impact too. If you come flying in and drop your shoulder, you will feel it too. Plus with the pads and equipment they have now it makes your hits harder. You can come drop the helmet on a RB and knock him out without feeling it. Remember playing tackle football as a kid in the yard? We’d have birthday parties where that’s all we did till our parents wanted to go home. I don’t remember any scary hits that looked like someone was paralyzed. I can guarantee you if they gave them like tough leather helmets, basically similar leg pads to what they got now, and shoulder pads kind of like a motocross version but skin tight, they’d drop the concussions by a ton. It would be big hits like Rugby and same violence but honestly force better tackling. We’d still a good product, I’d say better.

Can’t tell what Pablo is. He looks Asian, has a Hispanic name, but acts like a white woman.

the brain is still getting bounced around in the skull, even with these silly Caps. Maybe those things help a tiny bit, but not much at all. It's mostly for show.

The NFL doesnt care about player safety. They push guardian for the same reasons they tried to hang the Saints over bounties, or how they've essentially made touching QBs illegal. Its all to create the impression that player safety is a priority. They had the ProCap in the 80's, which was essentially the same product.
