The definition of "in the pocket" is sort of silly. I wasn't aware of this until a week or so ago, but if a quarterback takes a sack, turns around, and runs 20 yards in the other direction without going in either direction, and then throws the ball out of bounds, he's considered to still be in the pocket.
Not that this is likely to happen, but it seems dumb to me that the back of the pocket extends all the way to the end zone at the side of the field the offense has their backs to.
