But they can name every RB in the league. lol
It may seem farfetched now, but I could see - in maybe 10-15 years - the game revolving around fantasy football. Even on a front office level...
I seriously hope it doesn't come to that. I'm not one of those guys who's against any sort of change but the day fantasy football rules the game I'm done as a fan.

I think the NFL trying to clean up the game is 60% politics and 40% evolution. The politics come into play because of the law suits from the old timers mainly, but now when the game worth billions upon billions of dollars do you really think a team owner wants his star QB or WR in the line of fire?! From an owners standpoint I would not, sorry but that $ makes the world go around. From an evolution standpoint we now realize much more about sports injuries than we knew in decades past, so the only logical thing to do is change the way you play the game because you can't change physics. Is it perfect now? NO. But you have to tinker with things to see what works.
With companies like i1 Biometrics and UA making equipment to monitor athlete's heart rate, blood pressure, possible head trauma or blunt force to the head and a bunch of other crap I don't know a lot about we may see more leeway with the actual rules themselves.
