But what if all of the above were true, with the exception that the ball grazed a player and the clock properly started? I'd like to think I'd just let things roll until somebody figures out it's game on (if ever).

If no one is moving than we need to make a decision that is best for the game and within the rules. We can't just let a whole bunch of players stand around and let the clock run because the ball grazed someone.
