Year ago, possibly.  However for at least the past 10 years, the competition committee has been under duress to make changes to the game in the name of player safety while keeping the game as fair and as entertaining as possible.  Do I agree with all of the rule changes over the years? Not really. Personally, I miss the days of watching vicious hits and taking out the opposing QB as a matter of strategy. However, after seeing interviews with enough of the players whom I admired while they were destroying themselves for the game, in feeble mental states and physically unable to enjoy life as they should be, I reluctantly had to admit that the changes are for the greater good.
