This the main reason.They're trying to keep the starting QBs healthy. Nobody wants to watch a Glennon/Dobbs Monday night game.
Look at the crapfest the 49ers are working out now.

You guys don't know what you're looking at. He easily could have not landed on Kirk, but he makes sure he does. Could have easily finished over him or even off to the side. But he tried to put his weight center mass. Clear as day.
He rolled and tried to put his weight on his own arm. You are crazy if you think he could do more in an instant.
Have you ever played football?
He stopped as much as he could. He grabbed the QB with his arm. He didn't even lift the QB's feet off the ground,
This the main reason.

Come on now don't get logical here.....They would rather put the onus on the Refs judgement who are probably the lowest form of scum outside of Goodell.Then either start a farm league, get decent quality of GM's, or have a serious talk with the NCAA about the absolute dogpile of ***** QB's that come out of college.
Yeah, but it's not back in the day. They actually made the rule easier. It sucks, but it's still easier to call. And that's an improvement. We already knew they were removing some of that great violence this game gives us. But it's gone.It's happening in a flash though bro, in slow mo you might think he could a easily rolled to the side, but in real time it's different, he's desperately trying to get to the QB and make a play, it wasn't malicious in anyway.... Back in the day people would be throwing there TV"s out of windows seeing that called, the game is just getting so soft....
most of these tackles on the QB isnt about violence.Yeah, but it's not back in the day. They actually made the rule easier. It sucks, but it's still easier to call. And that's an improvement. We already knew they were removing some of that great violence this game gives us. But it's gone.

It is good form tackling. The NFL is literally saying dont use good form when tackling a QB. Which on its own creates injuries.
It's simple now. If he lands on the QB, it's a flag.
This rule already effects the Eagles greatly, since they have the best Dline.
We all like the violence. We all like hurting opponents QBs. But that's not legal defense anymore.
You think a defender can do more than Mathews did? He got his helmet out of the tackle. He tackled mostly with his arm. He didn't lift the QB off the ground. He tried to avoid putting his weight on the QB. All this in a matter of less than a second. He still got flagged.Well I don't think an off balance defender would be called for landing on a QB awkwardly, but if you have a clean shot at him and finish by driving him straight downward with you on top, that'll be called. These guys need to be rolling off at the end at a minimum.
