QB Under Center then Backs Out to Get Play

[Robert Goodman]

I think what needs to be gotten at in relationship to the question is simply that the QB is no different from any other team A position regarding shift rules. However, the QB may have greater opp'ty than others to simulate the start of play, so may deserve greater scrutiny w.r.t. false starts. Simulating the start of play needs to be judged on the circumstances.
