The subjective bullshite “degrees of possession” argument is a stupid one. You either possess it or you don’t.

There are no degrees of possession. That’s true.

But possession also does not simply mean having the ball in your hands. If it did, knocking a ball out of a receiver’s hands in the endzone would still result in a TD. And knocking a ball out of a receiver’s hands anywhere else on the field would result in a fumble.

Isn't this supposed rule saying it's out of bounds because the player possesed the ball while out of bounds so it's dead?

How is simply touching the ball possession for 1 player but 2 hands on the ball not possession for the other?

Using receiver catch rules to correlate to fumble recovery possession is pointless. Two completely different football actions. It’s why there’s different sections in the rulebook to establish each.
