Agreed.
Just to clarify, I am not in favor of a 3,5, or 7 step drop you cannot break out of, and I don't believe we are getting that. You will be able to break out of it and that kind of nullifies the term "forced drop back". What I think we'll get is a drop that you are required to take the first 2 steps of before you can break out of it which I feel is realistic. The only time the QB does anything in his first step is when it is planned. Unless a play is called that calls for a 1 step, you should be forced to start your drop.

This would prevent unrealistic rollouts and instant throws.
