You must be concussed to have posted on the wrong board.

New rules seem to be working. Gotta do something, the sport can't survive otherwise.

22 starters for each team equals 44 starters for each game, 16 games a week, 20 games a season not counting playoffs means over 14000 potential concussions at absolute minimum, not counting special teams, and about 250 on average are concussed?

So the absolute maximum percent of concussions in the NFL is about 1.7%.

Not bad.

Add in special teams, backups that play, multiple package teams, and playoffs and the number is easily under 1%.

Do a side by side of number of lawsuits.

Don't for a second think Goddell gives a shite about the players.

I bet viewership would increase if they let linebackers and corners annihilate recievers going over the middle again.
