I know he’s a rookie, but why would he keep floating backwards and throw this away when the pocket is this clean?

Pockets get no cleaner than this. Step up and survey the field.

Because there's 13 seconds left man and we have zero timeouts. What do you want him to do? What's the upside in stepping up and surveying the field?

They're protecting the endzone. Anything open will result in the half expiring. This is such a bizarre thing to complain about.

If he steps up into the pocket, if he's ripping the football it'll either be short of the endzone, or into coverage with a high INT %.

Furthermore, you can't easily throw it away in the pocket. How he played it is 100% correct.
