If you have to dive towards the ground to hit a runner, then they are already down or going down, players need to stop thinking they are going to jar the ball loose or inflict pain in those situations.

That's part of the problem with the NFL's crazy QB rules.

You can't hit high, you can't hit low, you can't wrap up in the middle, you can't use your helmet; if you somehow hit the guy in the 8-inch target zone (which I guess is supposed to be what would look like a chest bump), you have to immediately repel yourself or it's now a flag. On the other hand, a quarterback can go low and (at worse) get a few extra steps or (at best) draw a flag. 

In this instance, I thought Luck was already down when Williams was dropping, but I don't blame guys for dropping on hits where a guy is just going down, or appears to be going down.
