Eh, I just don't bother. I think many of the rules about RTP/unnecessary roughness are stupid as hell, but they are what they are. People want to complain because QBs are taking advantage, take it up with the competition committee or whatever. The game is trending softer, and there's no going back now.

Some people love it because it means scrambling, athletic, smaller QBs are protected like they never were before, and those guys will be able to stay healthy for a few more years than they could have in the past. Which is good for general viewership. And at the end of the day, the NFL is all about the $$$.
