Helmets never used to be mandatory and now that they are I think most players don't even second guess them. If they went back to being optional, I think 99% of the players would still wear them.
You would probably hear some complaining for a while if they became mandatory, but once players saw their value, they would change their mind.
Detroit's Kris Draper just hit in the eye and he was quoted as saying the choice to wear a visor from this point forward was a pretty easy one.
