We have to suffer through terrible RTP calls just for half the QBs in the league to get injured anyway

[–] well____duh@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Honestly, the NFL might as well do like a two-hand touch rule on QBs. Keep it so tackles are still RTP, but the QB is down if touched by two hands by a defender. And implement a new penalty for QBs who flop like in soccer/basketball.

It's not feasible for this current system if the NFL is wanting QBs to be uninjured but fining/penalizing the defense for making legit tackles. Something's gotta give.
