Sliding or going out of bounds should have a hand signal (alien.top)

If a kick/punt returner is able to lift his hand to call a fair catch, QBs should be forced to show a hand signal to declare themselves “down.” Too many fakes going out of bounds or potential slides can hurt a defense.

This is the real answer. If QBs are going to run down the sidelines and fake going out, let em get blown the fuck up every now and then.

The problem is QB play is already at a 10-year low, and the NFL does everything possible to fuel the offensive highlight machine.
