Why is there weight limits in youth football?

Its more about fundamentals than anything. Let's be honest with ourselves here, if there was no weight limit almost every coach in America would take a kid that was too large and run him in little league because 75% of the kids on the field could not tackle him. Is that good for football? How can you tell if a kid is going to grow up to be a rb? Can you see the future? Why are the biggest guys in the NFL and college not running backs? The problem with no weight limit is that coaches in order to be competitive would have to play a kid that probably will never being a running back at running back to be competitive. So basically you create a league for just big kids and nothing else. When football is not fun for 75% of your kids because they have no hope of tackling what are they going to do????QUIT. The weight rule is there to maintain balance and safety. If you think hes that great and is going to be a rb/te then move him up in competition where he can carry the ball. Then maybe you will see what the smaller kids in his grade level would feel like.
