Or how about this. You can't move if you're holding the ball, and opposing players can't touch each other, ever. Instead of a tackle, count down a 10 second timer for the offense advancing the play.

Since we just made the whole game about passing without contact, 4 downs seems a bit too generous. Change possession whenever the offense fails to advance for whatever reason.

And 22 players on the field at once is just a bit much. So many variables. So cut that down to 7 players on each team.

And maybe to promote skillful passing, ditch that weird oblong ball and replace it with a flat plastic disk.
