Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

I've read before that the safest helmet is no helmet. If players thing they're safe, they're more apt to use their helmet as a weapon or put themselves in precarious positions.

speaking of football helmet design I noticed that my nephews new youth football helmet seems to have a different shape than the traditional helmet. It seems flatter than the more traditional round shape. Its almost like a bike helmet with not as much of a dome. I can't find any pictures on line that match it. I'll try to get a picture.

Maybe its just been so long since I have seen a good heavy duty football helmet up close that it looks different.
