Outlaw the Tush Push in the NFL?

It is a skill play, there is little to figure out, it's brute force
not every QB squats 600 lbs, and PHI has a good OL
they are uniquely positioned to run this effectively, good on them, when you have a matchup advantage like a T Hill or Randy Moss in the day, use em
it's like how we use CMC, not all backs can do what he does, and we exploit the heck out of it, why have great players, if not to use em or come up with plays they are great at

QB sneak shouldn't be outlawed. But the act of two players lining up AND pushing the QB should.

never thought I would see a day when the league is cowering over the idea of another team shoving their star QBs butt a yard downfield
too OP, shut it down!

Hate the play. Doesn't seem like a skill play and will be ugly football if every team figures out how to run it and we see it 50 times a week in the league.

My question is if it is legal to go for the offensive linemen's legs on this play. I'd line up 2 men center to go low to prevent traction and crash with linebackers and one big dt over the top. My plan would be to hurt the qb… just make them feel the collision. Pretty much what they did with kap when the pistol and wild cat were going so well and the league said you could hit him even after the handoff bc they determined he was a runner in the wildcat or some bs Seattle always got away with crushing him late.

All this clamoring about Hurts and not every QB squatting 600 pounds is just false. First of all, he's not "squatting" 600 lbs. He maxed out, with one rep, at 600 lbs. He's not doing sets at 600 lbs. Second of all, I would venture to guess at least half of the QB's in today's NFL could do one rep at 600 lbs. Everyone out there acting like Hurts is some Greek God is totally hilarious.

Absolutely hate this play in the game. If you can't line up & do a natural QB sneak, then it should be outlawed
