Forget the "to the quarterback" part if the ball leaves the snapper's hands and goes to nobody. If the snap does get to somebody, but it's a player who is ineligible by positioning to receive a snap, that's illegal, but not failure to get the ball to anybody. They can legally snap the ball untouched thru their end zone if they want to produce a safety, for instance.
