Ah. I knew that. I was thinking there was some new rule that stated a QB cannot get a first down if he slides- which, of course, doesn't make sense.

The tradeoff being that no one is allowed to hit him when he does so. (Allowances should made for players already "committed" and unable to change momentum.)
