Once again what would stop those same defenses from sending bottom of the roster guys to **** up the already concussed QB further?
If Mahomes is slow to get up and people realize it's a head injury and he gets let back in, why would the defense which you keep presuming is playing dirty target mahomes' head specifically knowing it will not only **** him up for the current game but for future games as well?

It has happened with bountygate. The NFL found out many teams (not just new orleans) were coaching their players to intentionally injure other players. Again, I am fine with keeping concussion protocol, but I also recognize the advantage it gives to a defense. Of course the stuff is still happening. Teams have been playing extra dirty this year to get in a QBs head. They've found ways around targeting.
The Tonya harding solution is a real threat in sports. It's not like the idea of removing aggressors is unusual. College more aggressively enforces targeting, and I'm not suggesting that. Hockey and soccer, more reasonably, do a much better job of consistent enforcement.
