Are you trying to be a ref or something?

Illegal. He cross the line of scrimmage then came back behind it which you can't do and still throw downfield.

Not trying....am one. Thought I'd share some plays used for study and let folks make the call and discuss them.

Pay attention, you might learn something about the game.

Legal ... you have to be clearly 100% over the line to be over the line of scrimmage when it comes to being able to make a forward pass or not.

If it's the ball that has to cross, then yes it's legal.

If it's his body, then no its illegal.

Touchdown, every part of the QB's body has to pass the line of scrimmage. All of his body didn't. TD, everyone on here should know this.

Look again. His right arm (the one with the ball) stays behind the line, or at least even with it.

Take it one more step:
If it's an illegal forward pass, what's the enforcement?

Spot of enforcement and penalty

BTW, some pretty good observations...

I know it's a loss of down. Pretty sure it's a 5 yard penalty or something like that too.

The ball is right on the blue line at the snap fwiw.
