And the first time Landry hits somebody out of bounds before their feet touch, everyone will love this rule.

I agree with you and now the rule is the rule and the ref's cannot come in and make up their own mind as to what happened. All WR's and QB's have this rule so it is fair. I think last year some games where decided by the ref's saying a WR was pushed out and it was questionable at best.
