Fumbling out of the endzone

Slightly off topic, but the rule I want to see changed the most is that ridiculous securing a td catch rule. It's stupid that a player can stretch to the goaline, break the plain and then fumble, but it's a td. But a Wr can catch a pass, take 2 steps, start to get tackled, his knee hits the ground then his arm, then his other arm with the ball and it comes loose and that's not a td. Ridiculous...

To me the rule is fair, the goal of the offense is to get the ball to the endzone. If you get the ball to the endzone without possession then it is the other teams ball at the 20 yard line. You have to control the ball going into the endzone. I understand it might not sound fair but neither is it fair when the defense forces a fumble, the ball rolls into the endzone, and the offense recovers for a touchdown. So really it balances out.

It would not be fair at all if an offense fumbled the ball out of the endzone and then get another shot at it from the 1 yard line.
