There are two underlying issues that are driving the league into a state where it will not function.  
 
	 
 
	The first is that it is a QB driven league and they are doing everything they can to protect QBS, even to the point of absurdity,  Take a look back to the “old days” when RB’s were the feature players.  Many of them went down with knee injuries did the league do anything to change that situation for them? No.
 
	 
 
	The league is also trying to mandate or by rule creation eliminate concussions.  It’s a violent sport and they are not going to make it otherwise.
