You always look to call someone out but really bring nothing to the conversation.
Maybe it comes out that they're just as ineffective as the original. But you can't say one guy wearing it got a concussion and then conclude that means they're just for show.

Definitely looks less like toad from Mario than the original

Well, it’s been more than one guy. If you follow the league you know it stems more from the concussion lawsuit and not player safety. If they truly cared about player safety, would they be playing games with only 3 days off? Wouldn’t anyone that’s been in concussion protocol be mandated to wear the guardian cap? Or maybe even guardian caps required across the board?

I'm in. Take away the weapon. No one spears ever again, if they do, they need to learn to walk again. Make them wear the stupid cap the 7 v 7 kids wear.

It's not mandated.
The data says there's a chance, they may reduce concussions and trauma.
Who gives a frick if someone wants to wear it? Here we are again, trying to tell people what to do. If my career is on average 10 years and maybe something I wear can lead to less physical detriment afterwards, you bet I'd do it.
Did yal have such an issue with the q collar and the neck rolls when players wore them? FOH

No because they looked cool

Can't the tech just go into the helmets? Gotta have the $$$ grab of a guardian cap ?

You would have a point if they said this would stop concussions altogether.
There have been published studies done that show they don't reduce concussions at all
This is from the National Library of Medicine

Purpose
The objective of this study is to present preliminary on-field head kinematics data for NCAA Division I American football players through closely matched pre-season workouts both with and without Guardian Caps (GCs).
Methods
42 NCAA Division I American football players wore instrumented mouthguards (iMMs) for 6 closely matched workouts, 3 in traditional helmets (PRE) and 3 with GCs (POST) affixed to the exterior of their helmets. This includes 7 players who had consistent data through all workouts.
Results
There was no significant difference between the collapsed mean values for the entire sample between PRE and POST for peak linear acceleration (PLA) (PRE=16.3±2.0, POST=17.2±3.3Gs; p=0.20), Peak Angular Acceleration (PAA) (PRE=992.1±209.2, POST=1029.4±261.1rad/s2; p=0.51 and the total amount of impacts (PRE=9.3±4.7, POST=9.7±5.7; p=0.72). Similarly, no difference was observed between PRE and POST for PLA (PRE=16.1±1.2, POST=17.2±2.79Gs; p=0.32), PAA (PRE=951.2±95.4, POST=1038.0±166.8rad/s2; p=0.29 and total impacts (PRE=9.6±4.2, POST=9.7±5.04s; p=0.32) between sessions for the7 repeated players.
Conclusion
These data suggest no difference in head kinematics data (PLA, PAA and total impacts) when GCs are worn. This study suggests GCs are not effective in reducing the magnitude of head impacts experienced by NCAA Division I American football players.

I believe the top rugby tournaments now average more tries per game than the NFL has touchdowns per game.

Didn't realize fashion was such a big deal for the so called masculine men who enjoy football.

Just roll all the safety rules back to the 80s. Then make the first lines of the CBA:
"If you play football in the NFL you will end up a spit-dribbling idiot. But, if you want the money, the pussy, fame, the pussy, the acclaim and the pussy; sign below."
Who gives a shite about concussions? I don't. And you don't, either. I honestly don't care if they have to bury bodies in slit trenches filled with lime after every game. Bring back the violence*.
*Are we ready to agree at this point the whole CTE thing has been massively overblown? Or are we still buying that hack Nigerian doctor's load of crap?

Seems like a very small sample size...

Can you cite a source or are we just supposed to accept your conclusions with no data or source?

I think these are great, even if you don't wear in games and only in practice. I know not all programs can afford these, but think if all the head shots or falling back players take from middle school - high school. I know I got "dinged" a dozen times from 7th - 12th grade. Sometimes I sat out a play, and sometimes I shook the cobwebs out and lined up.
