I don't like the "can't hit the QB when they are sliding" rule

There was a play lastnight in which Alex Smith took off running and got the first down. There was a Cardinal there that could have stopped him a yard to two short..but Alex and started to get into slide mode...and the Cardinal kinda backed off and let him go down...which netted Alex another 2 or 3 yards and a first. I have no doubt had the Cardinal layed the wood on Smith and stopped him short that it would have been a personal foul.

Its seems the D is sometimes kinda handcuffed in situations like that.

I wanted him to lay the wood, he wouldnt have been suspended and alex would have cried.
