Anyone else question why did Carr leap?

This picture says it all he had no room to stay in bounds and not take a hit. He was trying to make a play and instead he got knocked out of the game. Leaving his feet was a dumb move but why are we knocking a guy for trying to make a play?

I love hindsight/what if stuff like the next guy but as a fan base we really pick on this QB for dumb stuff.

Sure the better play right then and there would have been to just slide. He would have still got creamed by the defender but he may well have drawn a flag and got the 1st by penalty.
