You cant tackle with your Butt, gotta be looking em right in the eyes, hence the helmet on your head is first there

Can't look at them in the eyes when you're leading with the top of your helmet.

Uh, not dipping your head was one of the first things I was taught playing football. This was for my protection, not the guy I was trying to tackle. These silly rules you are talking about is all about protecting the franchise QB. They really should make them wear a different color jersey like the goalie in futbol or just nickname them "nancy".
