The fact no coach would ever advise them to do it means a QB doing it is in fact wrong, so you wanting Burrow to do it would go back to my point that it is not proper QB'ing. 

Let me make this easier for you, coaches specifically say NOT to do exactly what you are saying they sometimes do and you want Burrow to do. Does that make it clearer?

Allow me to make something clear. In the gameday thread someone said "throw it away" and you came back with "he's in the pocket, he can't, it's grouding". That's when i said he could throw it at the receivers feet (that doesn't mean right at his feet, or hit his feet or generally toss it up in his area) it means throw it in the area to avoid a grounding call (which is 100 thousand percent correct), exactly like Jones did last night and how other QBs have done many times before. That's when you chimed in with the "no one in the NFL". That's YOUR argument, not mine. Mine were real world examples of things that have happened. 

If only every single snap in an NFL game would go as it's drawn on the board, what a wonderful world it would be. Unfortunately, plays break down and players even improvise from time to time. If Jones, Burrow or any QB in the NFL does what Jones did, throw the ball away to avoid a sack, while not incurring a penalty or turnover, i'm not going to call that a bad play. 

You stick to your book about what players are taught to do and not do.
I'll stick to QBs and players, who, in the course of a game, may have to go off script--and when they do, with a positive result--i'm not going to go on for pages and pages about how "it's not taught".
