Because I could very easily take every single argument you've made in favor of this rule regarding landing on top of the QB's and say that "there's no need for offensive linemen to land on top of defenders as they carry out a block." So why the difference in opinion? Do we only care about quarterbacks and not other positions on the field? Has a defender never been injured while being pancaked by an offensive lineman? Once again, I think this demonstrates that the rule arbitrarily creates special protection (among several other rules that do the same) for this one position on the field, placing an undue burden on defenders whose job it is to stop QB's. It makes no sense.</blockquote>
