NFL to consider changing fumble through endzone touchback rule

I missed it earlier this month and didn't see a thread about it but John Parry on ESPN just mentioned that the competition committee will look at it this offseason and Rapoport tweeted about it a few weeks ago:

@RapSheet
NFL executive Troy Vincent says at the league meeting, among other things, that the league will take a look at plays where the player fumbles through the end zone(!).
Is it too punitive? “Do we need to give them a chance again?”
It will be studied this offseason.

Give the “recovering” team the ball at the 1.

I hear this every single time that it happens lol

It gives offensive players incentive to be careful with the ball, you will see a lot more reckless reaching if it’s just going to go out the side of the end zone.

Second dumbest rule in all of sports.
Dumbest rule is a batter gets a chance to run to first base after a dropped strike 3

Jesus.
No need to change the rule.
Why award the offense for fricking up?

No it ain't.
If the offense doesn't value the ball enough to keep it from going out of the back of the EZ, then they deserve to lose possession and have B(see defense) take over at the 20.

It does “feel” wrong that in all other circumstances where a player fumbles the ball forward and it goes out of bounds, the ball is returned to the spot of the fumble. Yet this one results in a turnover.
Yet at the same time, fumbling through the end zone has always carried with it this penalty.
I like keeping it as is, but I definitely understand the argument.

It makes no sense to treat a fumble differently at that spot on the field vs everywhere else on the field. They should bring it back to where the fumble occurred.

Fumble rules do vary by when it happens or possession so it's not like every situation is the same.
A fumble can't be advanced if it happens on 4th down or in the last two mintutes of a half or if a returner doesn't gain possesion of the ball (muff).

Well they do it with catches. Maybe the endzone is a special place.

Yeah it needs to be changed to possession at the 20 going in to score. Shouldn’t go to the other team

I move we make incompletions in the end zone count as interceptions
