Western Mich RB just got McGahee'd after catching a dump off pass. If you ask skill players across the board you'll get 90% or higher that will say they'd rather the helmet to helmet hit than to be hit down low.

Hit down low is instant pain, rehab and missed games. Helmet to helmet injuries take a decade or so to show up. Of course most impulsive 20 year olds would want to avoid the pain today.
I’ve seen too many people with dementia. Id rather have any other injury than lose my ability to think.

I'm talking about Pro Players. The CTE stuff coming out barely phases most of them because they got to get that paycheck. Speaking from TBI experience, you're mostly right about the effects not showing up for awhile. I wasn't earning a paycheck by playing sports though so it's not the same. Hell when you end up with both lower body trauma and TBI, it's hard to choose. If you're lucky, you never have to.
