It's easier to get caught up on turf and end your career trying to avoid injury though, right? I mean, why stop at QBs, why don't our RBs slide before taking contact if being tackled is that dangerous? :)
I don't think Bison QBs should slide except when they would otherwise take a huge hit, and I'd prefer to leave it up to their judgment. The spots you get on slides are almost always terrible too - I swear that one in Arizona was where the ref thought Cam started thinking about sliding.

Not to argue but RB's have to take the hits ----or they don't play. QB's should avoid excessive hits........ imagine RB's avoiding/shying away from contact. Good Lord !!! Wouldn't that be a hoot; they'll find themselves deep in the depth chart, standing beside the coach with a pencil and clipboard in hand. Regarding the spotting of the ball on a sliding ball carrier. .... the ball is spotted at the yard line where the ball's further most point is when the ball carrier's knee, hip, or elbow first contacts the playing surface. So, when a RB is sliding, the knee or hip, or elbow is the first thing that touches the playing surface. That's where he's downed and the official determines the further most point of the ball; that spot is where the ball is next put in play.
