You're saying that if a player did the exact same thing James did but instead stretched for only a first down, it'd still be a completion? Even though he lost control of the ball?

Yes. That's the way it should be. I'm not saying the NFL rule book says I'm correct. I'm saying the rule book needs to be corrected if both of James' feet can touch the ground, his knee touches the ground, his pelvis touches the ground, & he makes a conscious decision top turn his body all before the ball gets loose and that results in an incompletion.
