Maybe you're right, but this text is off the article on CBSSports.com (and in the OP):

"Rule change: This will penalize teams handing off the football forward on a read-option, for example, or any other running play a penalty. Handoffs will have to be made next to or behind the quarterback, not in front of."

Don't see anything about being ineligible or downfield. Your interpretation also sounds like an unneeded and dumb rule but at least it would have the benefit of having virtually zero impact.
