I like Colin but to suggest NFL ratings are up because of a no roughing the passer rule is plain silly.according to Collin Cowerd, NFL ratings are up, and it's because the no roughing the passer calls. His opinion is that QB's are stars, and since there are less injuries people want to watch. He pointed out that the 49ers game rating will now go down.
He makes good point though on it. And I think the point is more why the NFL has done it. People tune in to see Brady vs Rodgers, star quarter back vs star quarterback. When one of the star QB's is hurt people don't watch it. He pointed out that all the ratings were up except the 49ers game.I like Colin but to suggest NFL ratings are up because of a no roughing the passer rule is plain silly.
but it is silly because I have NEVER said I am about to watch an NFL game but then changed my mind because the starting QB was injured. I would think all sports fans are the same.He makes good point though on it. And I think the point is more why the NFL has done it.

Another point....take Mahomes for example. He seems to be the latest rage and fan favorite in his limited time in the NFL. If he were the back up behind a star QB that never got hurt, these same fans may have waited years to see him play.
but the point is that it works BOTH ways.
we must be talking about "pink hats" then because of the true sports fans I know, no one decides to have interest based on injuries, but of course I understand your point. If there are more "pink hats" then true football fans, then I guess you may be correct.It does go both ways but it's heavily weighted on one side. If QB's are a huge reason why people watch there is far more upside to eliminating QB injuries, than there is for a downside of back up QB's not getting a chance to be stars because of a lack of injuries.
