Guys,
7-5-2c actually says " a pass intentionally thrown into an area not occupied by an eligible receiver"
This does not mean that it's legal if there is an eligible receiver in the area.
The case book cooment adds factors to look for in making an intentional grounding decision:
-Absence of eligible receivers
-the "dumping" to avoid a loss of yardage
-the skill of the passer and the pressure of the defense
Under these criteria, this is definitely illegal pass.
