Can wait for some funny bounces when the football hits the helmet.

Now that you mention children, pretty much all high schools and middle schools should have kids wearing these things in organized football.

I don't know how I feel about this. I find myself to be relatively young at age 31, and this to me makes the look of the game feel like it will be odd/weird?? Then again, who am I to bitch about what I'm viewing on another players helmet, and I am probably more or less going to get used to this new change when watching games. I'm just imaging though a bunch of oversized heads out there hitting eachother.

I assume they arent heavy and dont throw off your equilibrium? Either way I feel like QB may not be a position to utilize them on where precision of timing is at a premium

I guess teams will save a few dollars not having to put logos on the helmets.

I just can't see the logic in one player wearing a padded helmet calling another player wearing a larger padded helmet a pussy.

I really feel like this is the NFL's way of avoiding lawsuits down the road. "Hey, we offered more protection, the player refused to wear it" kinda thing.

If I'm an established veteran playing anything but RB/WR, I can't imagine not wearing it. **** how it looks, you only get one brain. Want to enjoy the majority of your life which comes after retiring from the NFL? Wear the damn thing and give yourself the best chance.
WR/RB I could see not doing it, because it might be an issue for vision in the receiving game. |

The best athletes in the world will now look like peewee football players.
