I agree that's how that might go.
I think it's also possible that it would lead to players (and coaches) figuring out ways to be physical and throw hits with significantly less danger to the head. Because there would be a real incentive to do that.
In any case, I think the risk that tightening concussion protocols might backfire is something that should be taken into account when figuring out how to improve player safety.
