[QUOTE="danny daniel, post: 681848, member: 1376"] I would challenge the statement that smaller players are slower. The opposite is true with obvious exceptions. I certainly agree with the better equipment issue. I don;t think we are anywhere close to needing weight limits but the trajectory of football (injuries threatening the game) is not good. When the time comes for drastic measures to save the game IMO weight limits are one leg of a solution to cut down on injuries. Another consideration is the health of the player. A player 6' 4" will be more healthy long term being 260 lbs vs 350. Also there are vast numbers of talented (smaller) great athletes available to help even the playing field with recruiting. The extremely large and exceptionally talented players are few and wind up helping the factory programs maintain their total dominance in the game. Change is coming, maybe later than sooner, but I am suggesting one possible direction for the change. [/QUOTE]
