After I finally got to start a few games my senior year, some of the hits made you feel like **. And i must say again, this was at the high school level. The game has evolved so much in the past 25 or so years due to things like the science of working out. Players in the earlier eras had huge health effects, and in the present we have linebackers who can generate hundreds or even thousands of pounds of force to make a tackle. Ya medicine is better, but not good enough. I really can see the game going extinct if these mental issues that concussions can cause become very prominent. RIP Seau.

Actually, it is becoming increasingly dangerous. Ray Lewis generates about 1000 pounds of force when sacking a QB. Guys like Jack Lambert and Jack Tatum (most feared hitters of the era) were wimps compared to today's LBs and Safeties. Due to the science of working out. The game is faster than ever.

The average weight of a player is increasing, and the speed of the game is increasing. While this is true, I wasn't just talking about the padding. There is MUCH more regulation as to how a player can go after another these days; helmet-to-helmet hits, horse collar tackles, chop blocks, facemasks, late QB hits...all of these are things you could do in the game back in the day that you can't do now without getting penalized. As well, at least in recent years, concussions are being viewed as far more serious than they were, and as such players aren't coming back onto the field one week (or the same day!) after getting one like they used to. I suppose it probably evens out in the end, but I still dispute the phrase that it's becoming increasingly dangerous. -- Will not remove this line of my signature until the Seahawks, Jazz or Rockies win a title (Started 5-16-09) SuperNiceDog: Guru winner <cite>Emporer_Kazbar posted [p:1101899] in Junior Sea...

The average weight of a player is increasing, and the speed of the game is increasing.While this is true, I wasn't just talking about the padding. There is MUCH more regulation as to how a player can go after another these days; helmet-to-helmet hits, horse collar tackles, chop blocks, facemasks, late QB hits...all of these are things you could do in the game back in the day that you can't do now without getting penalized. As well, at least in recent years, concussions are being viewed as far more serious than they were, and as such players aren't coming back onto the field one week (or the same day!) after getting one like they used to.I suppose it probably evens out in the end, but I still dispute the phrase that it's becoming increasingly dangerous. -- Will not remove this line of my signature until the Seahawks, Jazz or Rockies win a title (Started 5-16-09)SuperNiceDog: Guru winner </quote> ...

I suppose it probably evens out in the end, but I still dispute the phrase that it's becoming increasingly dangerous. i agree that concussions are being viewed more, thus causing people to think that its happening more. But some other things. All of those things are very serious, some of the most serious injuries in football. And it does appear that the number of these infractions are declining a bit. But when I played high school ball, i remember my coach reading an article to us saying how the average NFL OL, RB, DL, TE, and LB takes the equivalent of about 5 car crashes a game. I really wish I still had that source. The amount of increased penalties does not "even out in the end" of seeing guys like haloti ngata maul a QB/RB causing his head to bounce off the ground on a perfectly legal play. -- Pride. Passion.

In addition to the steroids he no doubt took when he got to the Pats, you just know he or someone on his staff forced him to go in when Junior did not think he was ready because of previous concussions.
