There's more than those two options. If he fumbled it, he would be allowed to retrieve it, and an IW would revert to the team in control. If he shot it, he could retrieve it, but an IW would go to the arrow. If he purposefully released it without trying for goal (my judgment on this play), then he can not retrieve it or even be the first to touch it; and an IW should go to the team with control.
No way this is a shot or a fumble. It's just a bad pass.
