Not seeing the plays, it's tough to comment specifically...
But considering the ref was right there on it, and experienced enough to know what to do, he was probably right. The QB receives no extra protection after a handoff --- only after a pass. The QB is eligible to get the ball back. You probably wouldn't have the concern if the player was the RB - and in this case, they are equal.
If there seemed to be deliberate attempt to injure, or the ball was considerably far from the QB when the hit occurred, it might be different - again - tough to say without actually seeing it.
Did anyone suggest that they might try to block the DE? Hmm, no - that probably wouldn't have gone over well, I suppose.
