He’ll get it figured out.

He's more conscious of his protection, or lack thereof, than I've ever seen him.
His first couple years he would slide away from pressure like he had eyes in the back of his head. His eyes would NEVER waver from downfield, which is why he was so good at converting long down and distances.
Now, it's very obvious that he's feeling pressure, often before it even gets home, and it's effecting how he's seeing the field and moving around.
It's a mental block that he's gonna have to work through. If he could just string a few good games together I think that would break him out of it.
