My take on bean bags is "Do it for one. Do it for all." This way it becomes rote and the bean bag will be down when it needs to be. I know that there is no real use for a bean bag by the referee for fumbeles behind the LOS, but what would happen if there is a fumble after the fumble. If the referee is "used" to not throwing the bean bag then he may forget or be slow in dropping the bean bag when he needs to. Just MHO.
With regard to the passer scrambling, I tell my umpire (part of pre game) that I will follow the passer where ever he goes and I will have the spot of the pass. Therefore, unless the spot is obvisiouly beyond the LOS, I will flag for illegal foward pass. What I do is eyeball that spot and when I get to it I will check the box to see if it was beyond the LOS. I then will drop a flag if necessary.
