Any Rule Changes?

Explain the penalty yards for me.

I am open on drops.

If let's say Patrick Peterson committed a pass interference and it was a 40 yard penalty, then he would get 4 points added to his total. Or if Frank Gore got a 10 yard holding penalty, then he would get 1 point.

It's counterintuitive I realize for a negative play to get positive points. But there had been some people point out that DB's are not worth renewing at their salaries because they don't score as high. So I think they have the most potential for penalty yardage and this could make them more valuable.

I get the idea of them being devalued, but I certainly don't like to increase the value of players who are bad at their jobs. CBs are hard to improve value for. The best often don't get stats because they do not get thrown at. There is little we could do to impact their value.

A pass interference penalty of 40 yards would be 1/3 of the total per game points for the best CB in 2020 and would be 1/2 of the per game points for the #20 CB. 

I looked it up because I was curious what impact it would have. The most PI penalty yards for a CB would be 111 so the total per season impact would only be 11.1 points. Also somewhat surprisingly some of the best CB are on the list of most penalty yards for PI. 

I think I am just opposed to the idea of rewarding players for hurting their team. I'd say no to that proposal. 

I like all of the other proposals though.
