This turf is much better than what they used to play on. On one hand you get these non contact knee and Achilles injuries...but you also have natural fields like that one in Washington that did in RG3. I don't know what the answer is here other than to keep trying to improve the artificial surfaces, and use grass where it's practical.

Green Bay and Philly (and a bunch of overseas soccer stadiums) have hybrid turf/natural grass like Grassmaster and SIS that have artificial fibers stitched in to the natural grass. From what I've read, they seem very well received and are kind of the best of both worlds.
