I think it would help QBs too, because they often break their thumbs or fingers slamming into helmets after they throw. Slamming into a styrofoam covering instead of a hard helmet would have to help some I would think.So I don't understand why they just don't make all players wear those. They were kind of dumb looking, but protecting the health of players should be more important than the looks.</blockquote>
