But it doesn’t though. These rules have been in place for awhile now and I’ve never seen a player tee off on a QB just because they know they’re gonna get penalized anyway. If you can find me some examples I’d be happy to be proven wrong
There’s a lot of former players in not just this sport that think “Well if I’m going to get called and commit a penalty, I’m getting my money’s worth out of it.” If you’re going to get slapped with that 15 yards, you’d better nail the fucker for your efforts.
That said I just wish officiating didn’t reward playing like that.
It’s almost like the ticky tac RTP calls actually do nothing
If anything it encourages the defender to make it worth their while and smash the QB harder

Maybe it reduces the o lines motivation to do a better job. Or encourages QBs to hold the ball longer.
The brutality of the helmet slap we see sometimes, I have a hard time watching those replays
