Not trying to be ugly, but why were you looking at the QB?

I did not take this has him actually looking at the QB or passer. I took this has him explaining why he would go with RTP. As this appears to have been a coach-official conference. And depending on the play, he would be looking at the QB rolling to his side and might notice him getting hit and might even notice a tipped ball immediately as well.

Tipped ball hits the ground and then the "passer" is hit, he is no longer a passer. But you could still have a dead ball PF.

I wasn't. I actually was umpiring this game. The WH asked if the ball was tipped, I told him it was. I was just agreeing that if he had roughing, then the call should stand regardless of the tipped ball.

OK, sorry. I took your post to mean that you *also* thought the hit on the passer was RTP.

Why is an official allowed to play in his own game? Next you'll be telling me the teams had linesmen.

My question is does a tipped ball cancel out roughing the passer?

CANADIAN RULING:

No.

Nor would it matter if the B player tipping the ball was the same player that was flagged for RTP.
