I disagree.
You get the benefit of the goalline extending to the sky and breaking the plane is a TD even if the ball is fumbled immediately thereafter.
So having a penalty that discourages guys from doing that stab towards the goal line is a good thing.
Just secure the damn ball inside the 5. It's not that hard.
