Then the parents can let them play soccer where the concussion rate is near as high. People need to learn how to manage risk and understand that there are trade offs.
Look, I want the sport to last but it needs to be recognizable. And this rule seems like it alters a lot of the strategy with likely not a large benefit (are qb sacks that high of a source of major injury compared to others).

Basically have to defend the quarterback like a jump shooter in basketball

This was my assessment too. The “sacks are now penalties” line that everybody’s saying when they read this would be way bigger news if it was the actual interpretation.
Clutching pearls is a favorite past time here. I do taxes for a living so a good chunk of my job is reading the Internal Revenue code. A lot of the time when they just add a new word to add clarification, it doesn't really change shite. Seems like this is the same thing.

As it is written, is any sack now vulnerable to this rule? If the quarterback is looking down field and is backside tackled from the blindside, is it now no longer a sack vs. defenseless player?
I've taken it to the extreme but the way the rule is written any QB making his reads is defenseless.
What a terribe rule.

Longhorns sign primadonna QB, join conference with real defenses, and ya’ll think this is ALLLL a coincidence.

nothing against you at all but interpretation is the issue. The rule is written poorly and the room for interpretation is entirely too wide.
A dumb ref COULD flag a DT for a monster sack because the QB was looking downfield.

Have you seen the stats on kids playing football? It has dropped drastically. Parents don't want their kids playing football in its current form. The game needs to evolve if you want it to stick around.
Parents these days are more worried about cutting little Johnny’s dick off to make him a girl. Which apparently is what your parents did to you

Seems like a pretty vague addition and really can't figure what can't you do now what you could do before.
This is so refs can interpret it their way to make sure the right teams win
