Agreed.
The biggest issue is that there's no real consistency about when they call it (obviously or Mahomes would've benefitted from an identical roughing the passer call last night), largely because the language in the rule is so broad. What the hell is "unwarranted"? for example. Or, "unnecessarily wrestling . . ." just what the hell does that mean?
Also, the entire phrase, "When in doubt about a roughness call or potentially dangerous tactic against the quarterback, the Referee should always call roughing the passer . . ."
That's just completely arbitrary nonsense.
