The QB is not out of the pocket, the center definitely is not an eligible receiver and the ball always lands behind the line of scrimmage. So, how come it never gets flagged?
Please don't say its because they are not facing imminent loss of yardage. Every time a center snaps the ball in the NFL the offense faces imminent loss of yardage.

Because it's an exception to the rule. It's in the rulebook.

the QB spiking the ball to end the clock isn't being chased via a protective participant the rule of thumb e book has particular regulations approximately while it quite is seen struggling with the clock and while it quite is grounding. if the QB makes a soccer play instead of in the present day spiking the ball it isa penalty. Dan Marino threw a td bypass as quickly as after working to the ball and making the s[ike the ball action yet no defender coated up on his outdoors wr so as a replace of spiking the ball he threw a show screen bypass and the wr scored a td

The QB moves his arm like if he was throwing the ball, so it can not be a fumble. Also, he has al least one RB just next to him and it's an eligible receiver. There is just nothing to argue about it.

i agree completly.......i dont think it should be counted as a flag though i think it should be counted as a fumble cause its pretty much tossed to the ground for grabs.....really...come on be men and play the damn ball or call a time out...and if u dont have a time out play the ball and through an incomplete.
because you dont know what would happen while your "spiking the ball" i agree with you all the way
