Penalize the intentional stuff, not the rest.

You can't read players mind which is why a high stick is a penalty whether it was an accident or intentional. The more you leave to the officials to interpret the worse the game gets. Rules need to be black and white and for intentional grounding the QB has to be within the hash marks and the pass needs to be in an area where a receiver is. It's pretty obvious most of the time and they don't pick and choose what throw in the dirt is grounding because either a receiver is in the area where the ball landed or he isn't.
