Yes, and being outside the tackles and throwing it passed the line of scrimmage does not matter. Can't throw the ball away in high school. There has to be a receiver in the area. Or throw the ball backwards out of bounds for a loss.
If the ball fails to pass the line of scrimmage, it is penalized as Intentional Grounding. The player who hit the quarterback is still awarded the sack.
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.
Intentional grounding in football occurs when a quarterback throws the ball to avoid a sack without a receiver nearby, resulting in a penalty. Throwing away the ball is when a quarterback intentionally throws the ball out of bounds to avoid a sack or incomplete pass, which is allowed as long as it crosses the line of scrimmage.
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.
Spiking the ball is not considered intentional grounding in football because it is a deliberate action taken by the quarterback to stop the clock and is not intended to avoid a sack or loss of yardage. Intentional grounding is called when a quarterback throws the ball away to avoid a sack without any eligible receiver in the vicinity.
Spiking the ball is not considered intentional grounding in football because it is a deliberate action taken by the quarterback to stop the clock and is not intended to deceive the defense or avoid a sack.
