I said I like the rule but it's the only rule that is safety or penalty in many cases and it's the QB of all positions

So the quarterback should be able to waive his arm above his head and signal the play dead?

Again, I disagree with your premise that it is "safety or penalty."

The defender is running full speed at the QB. He will hit the QB regardless. There is nothing that can be done by new rulemaking outside of making hits on the QB two hand touch to promote safety. They already heavily regulate how the tackle can be made.
