Really easy. You glance to see where they throw the ball. If you are not too close, you can see the entire play easily.

The play I described (in #2) happened, and I only knew it was incomplete. The defense was calling for IG, but I ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA is was IG. The HL AND BJ came in and asked my why I did not throw it. I explained why. They all said it was IG. SO please give me some insight as to how youwould get this called AND protect the QB.

Maybe you are too close to the play. Also where the ball goes is not the only issue to make this call under. The QB cannot just dump the ball while under duress either. So where the ball goes is not the only thing you have to judge. Did he just dump the ball because he knew he was going to get hit and lose yardage? It sounds like you might have been too close. You can always throw the flag, and then pick it up with information from your partner.

You could be inclined, but that would not follow any mechanics at any level. This is the Referee's call and the Referee's call alone. No other official has any responsibility with the QB or passer the way the Referee does...

Have to agree eith Rut on this one.
R has responsibility for the QB. He can observe the QB's action and intent. Had a LJ pull his flag last season without seeing the whole play. If there is doubt either you are not sure of he is grounding, or, there is no receiver in the area and you suspect he is grounding, give him the benefit of the doubt and quitely let him know what you thought you saw. It won't happen again.
