NFL considers implementing further rule changes to enhance quarterback protection
The NFL is considering a rule proposal to change intentional grounding rules to give more protection to quarterbacks. The new proposal would allow quarterbacks to throw the ball away from anywhere on the field as long as it reaches the line of scrimmage, eliminating the need to be outside the pocket. This could help reduce injuries, as most quarterback injuries occur inside the pocket. However, it may also impact scoring and gameplay if quarterbacks resort to throwing the ball away more frequently. With the importance of quarterbacks in the league, there is great incentive to keep them healthy. The rule change would require 24 votes from team owners.
