No they aren’t always told to throw the ball away to avoid a loss. In fact, Manning and Brady were notorious for simply falling down in the pocket if everyone was covered rather than taking the hit or potentially throwing the int.
That’s why you didn’t, because whoever was your coach in HS taught you wrong.
No, the biggest knock is that a sack isn’t the worst thing that can happen on a play a turnover is and that is a tactic that will result in more turnovers than any potential good it will do…which is why NFL coaches do not tell their QBs to do such nonsense.
Too bad you don't know a guy named Dave Lapham, a former guard from the Cincinnati Bengals, who just a couple hours ago referenced that very thing on Bengals line and how much offensive linemen hate when a QB does that because they feel like after they work that hard, the QB just gives up.
I mean, he was actually in the NFL, so what he says is the way it is, right?
