What's the cfb's policy? 

Expand  

Helmet to helmet hit = targeting. If called for targeting, immediately reviewed. If upheld, ejected for rest of game. If ejected in 1st half, can return next game. If ejected  in 2nd half, suspended for 1st half of next game.

That’s just targeting. Non-football acts would obviously be a longer suspension.

Yep just to confirm these are two separate rule changes/ considerations. One is to adopt cfb targeting policy, another is to create a “Gronk”category (I hope they name it that) so that punishments for non-football hits are addressed separately.

A fight to death in the middle of the field to prove who's not a kitty.

...yup, adoption makes sense...if player safety is a goal so be it...if not, safety is a fallacy and that can is kicked down the road until something serious happens.......

The only way to stop the NFL players from using their heads as weapons is to remove the helmets from the game. Without the protection they'll stop after one or two hits. Think Aussie rules football or Rugby. NFL players have too much body armor.

Thought! (My head hurts) 

 

What if they moved preseason to this as a precursor to eventually going that direction. I agree, the helmet especially is currently a weapon not a protector. 

 

Curious what the data on brain injury suggests from the leather days.

Give the opposing team 8 points, clear, no 2pt. PAT... It will stop pretty damn quickly!

Leather helmets protect slightly better from straight impact... Check the study.  But where leather adds in cushion, it is a total fail when it comes to getting mamed/facially disfigured.  How does it hold a facemask.

Or just take facemasks off.
