If you could eliminate any penalty in football, what would you choose and why?
I'd choose false starts (and the defensive counterpart offsides). You could still blow the play dead, but don't waste time explaining the call or allowing the teams to re-huddle and call in new plays. Just force them to line up and get after it.- Show previous comments 10 more

@Redux Ehhh... he's not the first to do it, but he definitely got the most coverage for it.
I'm not advocating for it to be a penalty but it should blow the play dead if a QB does that... like a knee hitting the ground. If we're going to say that defenders can't tackle a QB that's sliding, then we certainly can't allow said QB to exploit the rule.

Well that's why I said don't make it a penalty. Just make it like a dead ball play or something... like the runner's knee hitting the ground. Ref sees a QB go to slide, QB changes mind, ref blows whistle and the ball gets placed where the QB started the slide.
Since sliding and becoming a defenseless player is not going to go away it doesn't make any sense to enable people to exploit it.
