I don't think the NFL cares at all about the health of their players. If they did, then some of these rules would change. When you see all these cheap-shots, and worst thing you see happen is maybe a 15 yard penalty - that does not cut it. It needs to be where the player is ejected from the whole game, if not the whole season. They've made a few new rules in an attempt to protect QB's and defenseless receivers - but the new rules are pointless and stupid if there is not a major consequence to pay.
