Intentional Grounding Rule vs NFL protection

So this is the last rule where a guy needs to take a hit or take a penalty and ironically it's the QB position for that choice.
I like the rule but it's funny how you can "fair catch" with no penalty in fear you about to get pummeled but for a QB to chuck a ball to avoid a concussion you are penalized for it.
Goodell and consistency aren't synonymous

The QB usually gets hit regardless, so they aren't avoiding a concussion at all really. And if you accept that, then the rule isn't inconsistent with player safety as injury cannot be avoided by getting rid of this penalty.

The NFL would become completely unwatchable if they got rid of the grounding rule. It's already hard to stop the passing game, now you want the QBs to be able to just throw it into the ground every time they get pressured? Jesus what a shite show that would be.

What does Goodell have to do with anything?

Intentional grounding is not really a penalty if it's a sure sack. Down and distance is the same either way.
