There is a legitimate reason for having the rule in place, the design of the rule is to prevent the ball carrier from purposely fumbling into the end zone when it is clear they may not cross the goal line on their own.. by putting some risk (loss of possession) upon the act.

I like the rule, I remember this rule being used to the packers advantage. Can't remember which WR it was that slapped the ball out of the defenders hands running into the endzone after a pick of Favre.

It is what I consider to be the worst rule in the NFL. If you fumble it into the opponent's endzone and it goes out of bounds, it is a touchback and the opponent gets the ball on the 20 yard line.I like your version better.If I were in charge I would change this rule immediately, and then look into changing the "automatic first down" rule on some penalties.

I'm fine with the rule. The end zone is sacred and carries with it higher rewards and higher penalties.

Except for Hester burned the crap out of you guys the very next play for 25 yards. That bad call is a non-issue.
