2. OK, then a QB shouldn't get credit for a tipped pass completion either

For that matter, a QB shouldn't get credit for any run yardage after a pass including a TD. After all, it was the receiver that did it.

Throw a 5 yard pass which the receiver runs another 50 yards for a TD; QB should only be credited with the 5 passing yards. Throw a 50 yard pass that is caught on the 1 yard line and run in by the receiver; QB shouldn't get credit for a TD pass. Only if it is caught in the end zone.
