Just for arguments sake, a targeting call would be a harsher punishment for the guilty player and his team. It would give him and his coaches time to reflect on what he did wrong. He might not lead with his helmet and launch at this next QB they play or a QB they play in the future. It is not just about how a penalty effects the present game. It is about effecting the guilty players type of play in the future, and possibly saving the health of a future opponent. I believe that is the intent of the rule.
