In response to "So what does a "touch" in football mean then? Whenever I see it used as a football stat it is referencing receptions or rushes" by Guy

The thing that completely eliminates your argument is that most of those fumbles occur when the QB isn't attempting to run with the ball.

So, by your definition he'd fumble during a non-touch. Which couldn't count...

Responses:

well, actually, even if you include sacks, he has a 9.5% fumble rate -- nm - Guy Aug 27, 13:19 2
- Every time a QB touches the ball they have a chance to get hit or fumble. It's really that simple. -- nm - Inigo Aug 27, 13:28
- That still excludes about 90% of plays (handoffs and non-sacked passes) - Will Hunting Aug 27, 13:25
