Anyone else question why did Carr leap?

Ok... so the rules are... the ball is down where ever the ball goes out of bounds... so the moment he leapt and went out of bounds the play was over regardless of if he landed past the 1st down marker... so it was dumb decision from top to bottom. Like moronic levels of stupid. The clock needed to run, he is the QB he should know this, stupid. Leaping put himself in severe danger, moronic. The ground is turf, so it is pretty much concrete with a thin carpet over it. The full momentum of running and falling from 6 feet in the air was going to just land on concrete... unless he planned to ride Kevin's back to save him from the fall....


All equivalent to a HOSPITAL BALL. A literal hospital leap.
