Something else to consider. All forward passes are not legal. So, if a player tried to throw a forward pass after change of possession he would NOT be protected. Also, if a player tried to throw a forward pass after crossing the line of scrimmage, also no protection.
However, you really can't say that roughing the passer restrictions are ONLY provided for legal passes.
Consider this situation. QB throws a forward pass to the receiver behind the line. The the receiver attempts another forward pass, the 2nd one is illegal. However, if the receiver is still behind the line he STILL has protection against roughing the passer.
Would you all agree with that?
