I think that’s the right call, but I was just thinking of a way to make it less subjective. Let me know what you guys think.

What if it was only a pass if it makes it past the line of scrimmage? That would mean that forward screens behind the line that are dropped would be fumbles, but it’d mean that stuff like this that I think most people think feel like fumbles wouldn’t get called passes because the hit caused the QB’s arm to go forward.

Interesting. Would that make multi-forward passes legal? Not full-blown like in the XFL, but if the first one is behind LOS then you could design some intriguing plays

I thought of that. I guess I wouldn’t have too much of an issue with it since the first pass would still have to be behind the LOS so I don’t think it’d be much of a change since you can have the receiver/second passer just stand slightly further back right now and do the same thing. Probably a slight advantage but it also means you’re probably closer to defenders (since they might just think it’s a screen).
