Why am I doing Crowfan's job? You ran out of yarn for the shawl you're knitting?

I'll admit I'm quite intrigued. So it has to involve one of these: So what happens if he just stops and starts running backwards? Forward progress has stopped? But that can't be right or else anytime a runner backtracks for a second, the play would be over. Faking an injury would get the 10-second rule again, right? I think I give up. Enlighten me. A ballcarrier must be making an effort to advance the ball. . .that receiver for Denver that ran parallel to the goal line last year to eat clock should have been flagged. Running sideways or backwards to avoid tacklers is fine, but running around in a circle to eat clock is unsportsmanlike. You could fake an injury and provided the team still had a timeout (which in my scenario they would have to) there wouldn't be a runoff unless the officials were sure it was a fake, BUT I think they still wouldn't whistle the play dead until an opposing player touched the ballcarrier. . .and it's risky that would work and get a timeout before the clock expires. The nuance that I was asking about: a ballcarrier can declare himself down by taking a knee and telling the official "down." He could then call a timeout. Why am I doing Crowfan's job? Dude! That's cheating. It technically goes against the second rule. Errrrg. Deck was stacked against me...
