Carr, in this hypothetical situation, would be doing the right thing for his team, since the 15 yard defensive PI penalty would be better than the 50 yard completion. Whereas how defensive PI is penalized now, that wouldn't happen, since the ball is placed where the infraction happens.

While i agree with the spot foul on PI, i really hate when its 3 and 30 and a 2 yard deep def holding can give a first down.
