I never really grasped the inconsistency of calling intentional grounding if a player threw the ball away when under pressure but spiking the ball to kill the clock wasn't intentional grounding. I think a 5 yard penalty is a good thing in this case.

I understand the main difference is that a sack is not imminent when spiking the ball.

Same goes for it being legal to throw the ball away if outside the "tackle box" and the ball being thrown at the line of scrimmage. If the QB did not feel threatened why throw it into the line of scrimmage? Either an eligible receiver is "in the area" or it is intentional grounding when under pressure.

Throwing it away is throwing it away.

It is legal sometimes and not legal other times? :x

Yes, we have benefitted from this at times and a team is supposed to take advantage of any and all quirks in the rules, but still....
