This is incorrect, in a read option the QB is treated as a runner and can be hit. The NFL instituted this rule the year after Kaepernick made it to the Super Bowl, hence his decline. Defenses just started hitting him and his one trick was left useless.
I hope you are correct, still what you are saying seems to be that if he keeps the ball he is treated as a runner. I'm contending that if he hands it off, he should also be considered a runner. If he pretends to still have the ball, he should be fair game. Try that our on Aaron Rodgers. Hell, try hitting him even if he keeps it.
Whether he keeps the ball or not doesn't matter.

I hope they'll call it that way. I wish I could remember the particular incidents when I've seen it officiated otherwise, but can't recall off the top of my head.
