I know you cant get into the mind of the qb but from the play explained you can pretty much tell the intent of the play.
Just because there is a receiver in the area does not mean you can't have intentional grounding or illegal forward pass.
If the player is trying to conserve time or avoid a big loss you may have to judge his intentions.
Yes I will give the player the benefit of the doubt but will take a good look at it before i decide.
