The NFL/NAFL exception to intentional grounding where the QB is out of the pocket requires that the ball lands near or beyond the line of scrimmage. There is no allowance for whether it WOULD have landed at that point had it not been blocked by a defender.
So it is not IG to attempt to throw it to a receiver but then have it blocked but it is IG to attempt to throw it over the LOS, without a reasonable chance of completion, when out of the pocket but then have it blocked.
