It looks a little silly, but it doesn't bother me that they're making it an option. I'd guess this will primarily come into play for guys who have recently had concussions. [Reply]
It looks silly, and will probably take a while to get used to seeing, but it was really just a matter of time for us to go from cool looking helmets to something more protective. I'm going to hate watching them bobbing around the field for a while though. [Reply]

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. [Reply]
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 [Reply]

That's what I was gonna say too?? Is this a mandatory equipment rule, or is it just optional. If it's optional, it's hard to see a lot of players saying yes to wear them, especially if it could deteriorate their level of play, especially if statistics are saying it only reduces 10% when not everyone is using them.
