Not a fan of it.

Teams would abuse it if it wasn't in place.  You could just fumble forward on the last play and hope your teammate recovers it for a TD.  It's a good rule.  Its only in place in the last 2 minutes for that reason.

Imagine playing a team and there is no time remaining.  They are at the 5 yard line.  You stop them.  What is to stop them from just throwing the ball forward and hoping to recover it in the endzone (thus a TD)?  Would you want to lose like that?

Why are you equating a forward pass with a fumble?

Does the inability to advance a fumble prevent that? If the ball is recovered in the endzone, isn't it still a touchdown?

It keeps players from 'accidentally' fumbling the ball forward for another player to pick up and run with.

Or "bowling" it into the endzone.
