re: Qb scrambling beyond line of scrimmage should be 15yd penalty

Just take away the slide and giving yourself up. Then QB can decide if they want to brave scrambling past the line of scrimmage. The easy thing is to take away the protection.

Can’t really give up the slide entirely, but I think the responsibility should be on the sliding player to reasonably avoid contact
If you’re a half inch away from a 270 pound line back about to lay the wood, you don’t get to flail down to get a flag
Same with the sideline. If you simply change it from giving the benefit of the doubt to the QB to giving the benefit of the doubt to the defender, it balances out perfectly
Also they should use the instant booth call in system to negate obviously dog shite calls
QBs should also have much more of a responsibility / skin in the game for passes over the middle. If you throw a hospital ball over the middle to put your slot WR into a car crash, at the very least they need to start a fining/punishment system that they’ve done with the players making the big hits
Only way to have player safety is to find the balance of risk for both parties. Making it safer in one area for one side will inevitably have an unintended consequence that’s likely worse
