So the equipment is light years better than it was even 10 years ago, but now the NFL is more liable and more concussions are occurring?

Exactly. Because its just been over the last few years that it has come to light EXACTLY what the long term effects of concussions are. The NFL can play the "We didn't know!" card to keep retro-active lawsuits at bay, but they have to be proactive in preventing these kinds of hits to protect themselves in the future.
