Yes, if we were talking about a handoff. We aren't. We are talking about a read-option.
Its incredible. THe ruling from Blandino is right in your face and you cant even read it.
But if the quarterback has clearly handed off the football, and he's standing still, or fading backwards, he cannot be unnecessarily contacted, and that doesn't matter if it's a read-option quarterback or a classic drop-back quarterback.
