I'm confused...you guys are obviously confident that you are right, but if A1 throws an incomplete pass on 4th down and the penalty is declined, why wouldn't B take over on downs at the 5?

The dead ball spot (where the ball is placed) for any declined illegal forward pass is from the spot of the illegal forward pass.

If A were to throw an illegal forward pass from the A-1 yard line and B declined the illegal forward pass penalty, the ball is placed at the A-1 yard line.
