@vaporeon_ you want to carry it into the end zone. the game is about holding onto the ball. dropping it can have disastrous consequences

there are rules about throwing it; under normal circumstances, only the quarterback may do that while still behind the line of scrimmage (the term fur the line on the field where the current play starts from)

there are rules about kicking it, sometimes into the goalposts to score (if less than a touchdown), and very often to the other team (either a kickoff or a punt, depending on the situation)
