You need to remember that the Panthers caused this tendency of officials to waffle on giving him QB protections by deliberately running an offense designed around a QB acting as a RB and confusing the defense as to which role he was in, and not to mention gaming the rules on QB protection in the process. Lest we forget, we were the first NFL defense to address this read option nonsense and we did it the same way the Broncos did, only to RGIII.
If you want to stop the pounding then you need a rules change on offense where the QB must indicate whether they are QB or RB immediately after the snap and once indicated they cannot switch - if they do they draw an illegal formation penalty. Otherwise the tactic of hammering read option QBs is just going to continue.
