I agree with a lot of what some of you have said. But I dont really feel like you should hold a kid back from running the football just because he is bigger and really good at what he does. I have been around youth football in my area for a long time and havent saw hardly any injuries. I feel like that once you are put on the LINE, you are almost labeled for the rest of your football career. At least thats how it is in my area. Everyone talks about this one and that one quitting when they get older. Well the little guys quit to. I just dont see nothing wrong with letting a kid do what he is good at. I mean hell its football. The bigger,stronger, faster team usually wins 9 out of 10 times. Why water it down and label kids because of their weight and size? And the guys in the NFL and College are not little that play in the backfield. Dont consider 6'2-250/260 little. But I appreciate all of your opinions and comments. So pretty much its just a safety issue. I dont really agree with the rules but my opinion doesnt matter a ton of people disagree with me and thats fine. But thank all of you for responding.

Yes but all college and nfl players are primed and have lifted weights and are ready for that contact. A 70 lb kid that can't do one pushup should not be trying to tackle a 200lb kid (that will probably be a lineman anyways once hes older). So he's really good at what he does. Is that because hes bigger than everyone else. Why not move him up a few grade levels then? Even that competition out some. Why not do that if the weight restriction is not to your liking?
