If we switched to 18 games I'm sure 3-5 guys would break 2k yards rushing every year. I don't want to see that. Plus shorter careers which is another negative.

Overall this is a bad idea. 16 games is already demanding enough. If Davy is right and this is just a tactical ploy in negotiations I will be happy.

Only flaw in your theory is that the league didn't always have a 16 game season. I don't see how this would affect historical books? Besides, if this was an issue, then the NFL probably wouldn't have ever went past a ten game regular season. Also, I'm not sure it would signify shorter careers. Each team would be able to career a larger active roster.
