If he's no longer a passer by rule, then how else could there be roughing the passer. After the pass is incomplete, complete, or intercepted or he moves to participate in the play he's just a normal player like the rest of his teammates and no special protection is provided for him other than the same rules against fouling him or his other 10 teammates. He may have gotten "roughed" up, but it's not called roughing the passer.
