Would you favor changing points scored TD, FG, etc?

You need to make the distinction between rules that are for serious safety hazards vs rules that are for making money(pro pass league type rules)

Weren't you allowed to face mask on tackles back in the day?

You want that?
There was never a time where face masking was legal. I want the game of football to be physical like it used to be. You will never make football injury free unless you make it flag football. Football needs to go back to ground and pound and let defenses play without a disadvantage. That means lighting up WRs for going across the middle and stop treating QBs as untouchable.

I played TE in high school all 4 years and took some very hard hits .
 
The size, speed and strength of player has dramatically increased in the past 25 years alone

The athlete is a significantly more high precision weapon and stronger.

Rules have to be fluid for safety reasons.

Anyway...the scoring is fine the way it is. With the addition of the two point conversion(1 extra point to scoring)...I can do 1 extra point for 60+ yard field goals, making it 4 points.

That would make end of games interesting. 1 minute left...You're at mid field...do you go for the td or kick the fg?

I assume even if you run the clock to 3 seconds left, there would be a way to place the kick to at least 60 yards if you needed 4 points?
You could argue that the size/speed of todays players is a product of the rule changes. Different rules = different type of player.
