I don't agree with that, that would totally change the game.
It would help the offense too much.  Maybe if it was paired with a rule change that made the game simpler but helped the defense.

Ever since the Tom Brady tuck rule game in 2001, I've thought the whole idea of a forward pass should be re-thought.
It shouldn't matter what direction the QBs arm was moving when the ball came out. A rule like that is hard to enforce even with slow mo replay, and impossible without.
It should matter where the ball lands. If it lands (or is caught) forward of the QB's plant foot, it's a forward pass. If it's sideways or backwards, it's a fumble. Much easier to see where the ball ends up than to figure out the exact moment it came out of the QB's hand.
