The moment it stops? Fumble.

Nickel,
You aren't following the conversation at hand. Mike tried to toss out a purely theoretical point about a QB doing a pump fake that never gets tucked, just to avoid a any fumble ruling. Of course, you cannot do a pump fake without the arm eventually coming to stop -- tuck or not. Hence me pointing out the range of motion for a pump fake. There
is an endpoint. Once the arm stops? It's open to a fumble.
You completely misinterpreted this in some way that has nothing to do with anything...
