Had this situation the other night. Quarterback drops back to pass, he starts scrambling around. A receiver is about 30 yds away from quarterback. He gets hit by a defensive back very hard and goes to ground. It looked like an intent to hurt receiver. I called a personal foul on the defensive back. Did I get it right? The ball was still in quarterbacks hand.

I'm going to issue two penalities for this one.
The first one is illegal contact on an eligible receiver. That's 10 yards. (6.4.10b)
Futhermore, there will be an unnecessary roughenss foul (15 yards and first down) or rough play (25 yards, first down and ejection). Deciding upon or UR or RP is the judgement of the official. Reading your text about looking like an intent to injure, I would rule as RP. (7.2.1)
