Not true.

Every time the QB fakes, the ball goes back, then forward. If he were hit while his arm was going back, it would be a fumble if he lost the ball.

Beyond that, it's not that big of an issue for QB's Honestly, out of all the times they stand in the pocket, how many times are they hit and lose the ball? Maybe once in 1000 situations? What's the point in pump faking over and over again, just to avoid a possible fumble in that one situation?

I don't see it.
