Seriously, you can't hit a quarterback while he's throwing the ball or a receiver trying to catch a pass?

As far as I know they're just proposed rule changes, nothing to worry about yet.
Though if the QB rule goes through, it seems you could only hit them if they run, or you get to them before they can throw. If passed you'll see QB's abuse it by starting to throw anytime they are going to get hit.
I really hope the part about a WR trying to catch a ball and a player being wrapped up being considered defenseless only applies to people trying to use their helmets to light them up.
