I would have to be there, but if he has no vision of where the ball is going and throws it over his head (backwards) to avoid getting sacked, then I would rule that this was done to avoid losing yardage and penalize him appropriately. It may be legal according to the rules, but his intent is obvious.

That is exactly the picture I am trying to portray. The QB (A7) is facing his end line and throws it with both hands over his head. The QB has NO idea where the ball will land and no hope of reasonably completing the pass.
I've actually seen this play a couple of times over the course of 5 years.
