Ed,
That only works if the QB scrabbles around, then throws a pass. The Referee might be 10-15 yards away on a quick pass. There is no way he is going to tell on a quick to the sideline.

Rut,
One thing I don't look for is controversy, so if the QB's throw even resembles a forward pass, it is forward. To call it backwards I have to see the frame of the upper body
clearly turned backwards.
My personal observation is the quick pass is easier to see because the QB will turn his entire body and you have the benefit of having the offense set before the throw such that you might know the QB's intention.
