Brady suggests QB's should be penalized or fined for sliding late

I get where TB12 is coming from but I think it's too hard to enforce something like that. What exactly makes a slide "late" to one official vs another? When the league starts overthinking things like this they generally mess it up. See Rule, Tuck

I'm 100% in favor of a flag for QB's faking going out of bounds making defenders ease up so they can steal more yards. And make that challengeable. Kermit Mahomes does this all the time.

Sorry, I disagree. In nearly every case, (IMO), the DB's can minimize the hit when the QB slides late. In my cases the DB can anticipate the slide. NFL goes out of its way to protect the QB and needs to tell the DB's to smarten up.

Josh Allen does the fake slide a lot, but it gets written off as a juke

Tom was known around the league after his ACL injury to talk to the refs a lot. The 2010 Ravens game is a good example.

Easy for him to say
Since he ran 5 yds in 4 seconds he was sliding right away

Just a thought that occurred to me but maybe a good solution would be that the QB must signal with his hand first like a PRer with a fair catch. This could apply to both sliding and running out of bounds. This would prevent all the faking and offer the QBs more and better protection.
