The NFL makes and interprets the rules. The rules are going to favor the QB and you have to adjust your game accordingly even if some fans want to pretend that a QB is treated as any other RB.
Here's a hint, they are not.
I also think it was a dirty hit anyway.

I also think it was a dirty hit because of the elbow, but the 1st down was at stake. As a defender, it's your job to defend that LtG, and the idea is to drive the runner back.
At the end of the day, TL slid late, whether he was trying to gain the 1st down, or he was trying to draw a flag, and that got him hit the way he did. HE should've dove or just run for it, instead of sliding as late as he did.
