What is the difference between a throwaway and intentional grounding?
A throwaway is a pass thrown too far to be caught. Intentional grounding is when a quarterback throws the ball to the ground where no one is around to catch it, usually when still behind the line of scrimmage.
Why is it not considered intentional grounding when a quarterback spikes the ball while in the pocket?
The rule says, "Intentional grounding will be called when a passer, facing an imminent loss of yardage due to pressure from the defense, throws a forward pass without a realistic chance of completion." When the QB spikes the ball he is not faced with a loss of yardage. The rule was phrased that way specifically so spiking the ball would not be against the rules.
What is the grounding of a forward pass?
If the ball is passed and either missed by a player or not caught and lost to the ground, it is an incomplete pass; a down is lost and play begins from the last line of scrimmage pending penalties. If the ball is thrown at the ground deliberately to avoid a loss of yards or being sacked, it is an intentional grounding foul; the offense is penalised. If there is no risk to the QB, it is a spike; the play counts as an incomplete pass. Note: an intentional grounding foul cannot be called if the ball crosses the line of scrimmage or goes out of bounds, even if there was no realistic chance of a reception.
