Re: Could a reciever stop the clock by throwing the ball OOB?

I think of a similar thing when a running back is about to be stopped behind the LOS. Why not just throw it away (forward pass OB).

I played football, so never RB, so I'm not the best person to ask. But in football, you generally don't know you'r going to eat turf until you're already on the way down. Also, lots of risk of fumbling when you're waving one arm around instead of locking up the football.
That's my guess at least.
