And yes guys still get concussions today, but the precautions are incredibly different from back then. You simply do not go back in. And you sit a while and have to clear several doctors/test. I can't see it being worse.
QBs are better protected now and now all the defenseless player rules.. I just think it will only get better results in the long term.

That rule is like 2 years old. Can't really say "back then" when players still playing didnt have the benefit of those protections.
Also concussions are only part of the problem. From the link.

Linemen made up 40 percent of those cases, supporting research that suggests repetitive head trauma occurring on every play — not concussions associated with violent collisions — may be the biggest risk
