I guess I can see your point. I just think the owners are protecting their investments so that their product can remain tops. Who wants to watch the likes of Babe Lauftonberg, Mike Tomsczak, Jamarcus Russell, TJ O'Sullivan etc; Once again...I got your point...PHYSICS!

Kotix,
You're correct when you talk about the owners protecting their investment. Team owners pay their top players multi-millions of dollars at one time. Those owners want to reduce the chances of those millions being thrown away as a result of a multi-season or career ending hit. In an effort to protect that investment, that being the player, certain rule changes have to be made.
I think it works out for everyone. The owners can keep the best players on the field. The players will have a chance at establishing long careers. The fans get to see their favorite players for a long time.
