Has any of the helmets stopped concussions? God I've seen so many changes since the 70's, yet as the helmets change and the promise of less concussions are made, have we really seen a decline in it?

It almost seems like becaues the helmet is supposed to be better, and stronger, the players feel they should be able to hit harder and the players continue to get concussions due to the lack of properly rapping up opponants and tackling them. It seems it's all about just throwing your body at the opponanat and trying to knock them the "F" out.

But thats why I and millions of people tune in to watch football. Otherwise we might as well watch flag football.
