If you do not want to do this or if it is somehow against forum rules I understand and apologize. I realize that not being on the field is a huge disadvantage and you may not want to comment however, I want to show you two short clips both of the same play and give the best assessment that you can. I wish there was a way that nobody could see the others answer however we will just have to trust that it is your own opinion and not persuaded by anyone else's answer.

Given NFL rules Is this intentional grounding?

Given the following rules from the NFL digest of rules

ntentional grounding of a forward pass is a foul: loss of down and 10 yards from previous spot if passer is in the field of play or loss of down at the spot of the foul if it occurs more than 10 yards behind the line or safety if passer is in his own end zone when ball is released.

Pocket Area: Applies from a point two yards outside of either offensive tackle and includes the tight end if he drops off the line of scrimmage to pass protect. Pocket extends longitudinally behind the line back to offensive team’s own end line.

Intentional grounding will not be called when a passer, while out of the pocket and facing an imminent loss of yardage, throws a pass that lands at or beyond the line of scrimmage, even if no offensive player(s) have a realistic chance to catch the ball (including if the ball lands out of bounds over the sideline or end line).

Intentional grounding will be called when a passer, facing an imminent loss of yardage due to pressure from the defense, throws a forward pass without a realistic chance of completion.
