It's still 15 yds either way under the new proposal if I grab the WR at 10 yds are 40 yds. Not sure how that is win?  I see it the other way. How many times has a game been decided by a ticky tack PI on a long ball that wasn't even going to be close to completed and the offense gets the ball inside the 10?

The PI rules are foggy in the first place and you even have teams nowadays that deliberately play to those spot foul rules by throwing it up knowing the foggy nature of the call means that if they get the call it is a BIG gift (Pats and Stealers are notorious for this play).

This.  ^^^^  The penalty of Pass Interference is too subjective to warrant a free 50 yard play.  Just chuck the ball to the endzone and hope to god the ref see's some hand fighting to throw the flag.  Outcomes of games are unfairly decided by the refs in these situations.
