no it would be an legal forward pass
ANSWER:
It would be an iilegal forward pass, but the non-offending team would get the option of taking either the penalty or the result of the play. The defense would decline the penalty and accept the result of the play -- a turnover.

Can a quarterback go for a pass after handing the ball off to a running back or wide receiver?
If a quarterback and the entire ball are in front of the line of scrimmage then a forward pass can no longer be thrown but a lateral is still a legal play. However, by the act of crossing the line of scrimmage, the quarterback does not lose the right to throw a forward pass as long as after crossing the line scrimmage, the ball returns behind and is thrown from behind the line scrimmage.
If a quarterback throws the football behind the line of scrimmage and the receiver does not catch it is it a fumble?
That depends on the angle the ball travelled. If the receiver is behind or exactly to the side of the quarterback and the ball travels at an angle parallel to or away from the line of scrimmage, the throw is considered a lateral and would be a fumble if the receiver did not catch it. If the receiver is in front of the quarterback and the ball travels at an angle towards the line of scrimmage, the throw is considered a forward pass and would be an incomplete pass.
