(By the way, regardless of the answer I am still in the Geno Smith fan club and want him taken by KC #1 overall.)

Those count as forward passes, yes. I think there have been 4 or 5 of those this season? And I think most of them were near the goal line, but there was one I recall that sprung for a lot thanks to Tavon Austin's insane skills.
The thing is you could take those away and the stats would decrease (since they're big plays) but they would still look good. But that's what everybody wants to do with Geno Smith. They want to take away the Baylor game, those long plays, the ones where he forced the throw into double coverage but completed it anyway, etc.
