I honestly don't think limiting the handpass will work. Most of the hand passes against a blanket defence are lateral to an unmarked player. You will just see players giving 5 yard punt passes instead until they are making forward progress and then introduce their hand passes.
Let the game evolve past this.

The game wont necessarily evolve for the better without a helping hand. Most, if not all sports actively evolve through input from the governing body, eg if anyone remembers how nimd-numbingly boring soccer was before the backpass rule was introduced, the offside rule being altered to favour the attacker, etc. (apparently they change rugby a lot, but I never watch the tripe), and the changes introduced are invariably made with the sole idea of making the game more attractive to spectators. I think anybody being honest would admit that the gah definately needs a change before it grinds itself to a standstill
