I can understand looking out for player safety, and IMO the league has accomplished a lot of positive things to make the game safer and they continue on that trend; which is a good thing.

But at the end of the day, football is still a collision sport and a violent game. These players know what they are getting themselves into.

Getting rid of kick-offs is absolutely wrong. If this happens, you have just taken away such great plays as the Music City Miracle, one of the greatest plays in NFL history. You just killed off one of the greatest calls in NFL history - New Orleans Saints Superbowl Onside Kick. You just killed off careers that could have possibly blossomed (example - Derrick Mason, Devin Hester).

You know what, while we're game changing, let's change the NBA free throw rule to just one shot instead of two on shooting fouls.

There are 3 phases to football, and we all know what they are. This essentially eliminates that 3rd phase, or at most makes it 2 and a 1/3 phases in the game.

To answer the question - absolutely NOT.

If the NFL REALLY cares about its fan base, this would be killed immediately. Again, the players know what they are getting themselves into when they sign up to play.

If you get rid of kickoffs then what would players like Mark Mariani or Patrick Peterson do. Their careers are defined by their kick returns.
If you decide to punt instead of kick it the offense will have much better field posistion than they would with kickoffs.
