I'm afraid you're mistaken. Forward progress is a different animal. Read 7.5.4G.

And 4.3.3B, both new case plays for 2012 that reflect the new rule and philosophy.

If he is driven out of the end zone back into the field of play, Touchdown. If he were driven out of bounds, then incomplete pass.

As mentioned, the exception is if the defender catches him, throws him on his back, and luggs him out of bounds like Santa Claus.
