Passer over the LOS

If it was seconds after he released the ball, it can't be roughing the passer. It could be unnecessary roughness on general principles.

Sure it can be. He's a passer and protected until the pass ends or he moves to participate in the play. 2-32-11

I suppose if it was a pass that was in the air for seconds.

And a deep post pattern wouldn't be in the air a few seconds? A sideline out route off the opposite hash?

Your comments are suggesting that after a few seconds is what would be the determining factor of being able to call RTP. That is why mbyron referenced 2-32-11 in response to your comments.

Duh, my comments were before 2-32-11 was referenced. If my comment was in response to mbyron's, then you could say it was suggesting that.
