(g) If a fumble or backward pass by any player goes out of bounds, the game clock starts when an official places the ball at the inbounds line, and the Referee signals that the ball is ready for play. 

That's so there's no debate or need to discern if the ball was fumbled on purpose or accident. The clock starts regardless. 

Still gives the team a few extra seconds because the ref has to get the ball and place it before the clock starts.
