Is there any difference whether or not the "Passer" is behind or beyond the LOS? Behind the LOS I would not doubt calling this an incomplete pass. The action beyond the LOS is why I questioned it. IMO he didn't intend to pass, but as has been said intent is not the determining factor. I believe that the the note applies, it is a forward pass, and therefore illegal, the ball became dead when it struck the ground. It will be a first down for B, after the 15 yard penalty.

Yes, you can have a pass without a passer. If you couldn't, there would be no such thing as an incomplete illegal forward pass.
