QB fumble?

[MD Longhorn]

John Madden, all by himself, has made all of our lives more difficult. The ground CAN cause a fumble - the OP is the perfect example.

We could amend it to: "the ground cannot cause a fumble once the runner is down," but that's not as catchy.

Also, it's kinda obvious and boring.

I did not realize that people assumed that the line applied to this play.

Honestly, I have never can remember getting any crap from a coach or player about this. Maybe I need to get out more.

Leaving the ball on the ground is a fumble even if it's done deliberately. The fact that it's not a pass could make a difference in NCAA & NFL rules regarding their treatment of certain fumbles.

Which is crazy cause the ground can most definitely cause a fumble more so in the NFL, where a player (for the most part) is down by contact.
