    If anything it encourages the defender to make it worth their while and smash the QB harder

      There’s a lot of former players in not just this sport that think “Well if I’m going to get called and commit a penalty, I’m getting my money’s worth out of it.” If you’re going to get slapped with that 15 yards, you’d better nail the fucker for your efforts.

      That said I just wish officiating didn’t reward playing like that.

      But it doesn’t though. These rules have been in place for awhile now and I’ve never seen a player tee off on a QB just because they know they’re gonna get penalized anyway. If you can find me some examples I’d be happy to be proven wrong
