On some of those balls it looks like he doesn't even remember how to grip it.
I mean he had two deep balls in there that looked like they just sailed out the top of his hand. A couple others where his arm just came through sideways for no reason.
Best guys I have is that his shoulder isn't sound anymore. My labrum's ****ed up in my shoulder so on any given throw when I'm playing softball, I don't really know how it's going to behave in the socket. about 80% of the time it does what I expect but sometimes it'll just get 'loose' and my arm won't do what I expected it to do.
If I were an NFL quarterback and was only 80% certain my arm would behave like I expected, I'd be a mess. Every throw would be something I'm 'feeling' for as I'm releasing.
If his shoulder injury damaged the joint in his shoulder to the point that he can't trust his delivery to repeat itself, he's ****ed. He's not even a backup at that point. He HAS to be able to trust his arm to do what he expects it to do. When it doesn't...well, that's how you see misses like that.
It's about the only thing that makes sense to me.
