Our mechanic is the same as Mr. Boselli's. The more the QB drops back the more the responsibility belongs to the R. However, I had a situation where my LJ saved my butt. The QB dropped back several yards (thus my responsibility for backward passes). He threw the ball over my shoulder towards a receiver. Unfortunately, he was also under a big rush and I had to stay with him to rule on RP (there was none). When I was able to turn and look at direction of the pass, it was already on the ground, and it was unclear to me where it first touched the ground or where the receiver was when he first touched the pass (if he did at all). My LJ was johnny-on-the-spot and ruled it incomplete.
My pre games noe include this possibility that, even though its is primarly my call, there are situations where I will need help. We also ascribe to "when in doubt, foward and incomplete."
