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

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

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.
