Problem with this rule related to the QB vs other position players, is that defensive players are already on eggshells as to what they can or cant or when they can or cant touch a QB.......Now you have to throw in the added dimension of whether that QB is down by contact, is he trying to get up and throw? Did he give himself up or not? Seems there is a lot of room for error/injury if you dont address it
Either way, Peyton Manning doing it in the playoffs is like the only time i saw this as an issue
I see the point there.... But yeah it rarely happens... Plus once someone is down all you have to do is touch them, so it's not a huge safety issue...
