[QUOTE="dressedcheeseside, post: 311218, member: 77"] I highly doubt there is a meaningful way of making the game safer w/o a major change. Football has morphed into a contest of maximizing forces, forces that are primarily directed into human collisions. Rules changes can be effective in reversing this trend. Weight limits are a great idea. A specific weight limit per position would go a long way in lessening the forces in collisions (F=ma). It would also have the added benefit of leveling the playing field and putting the emphasis back on skill and strategy. Yes, there are drawbacks and downsides, but you'd have to consider the net result. NASCAR imposed speed limits in the interest of safety. They have shown that limits on the central aspect of success in a sport can be done w/o destroying the sport itself. [/QUOTE]
