Yeah, he's developed some bad habits or leaned into some bad habits over the last couple seasons, imo. And I doubt I discovered anything by thinking that. Pretty sure a ton of analysts, pro and amateur, picked up on it way before I did. And I'm seeing him lock in on a receiver right at the snap and just not look for another option, or flick through a read or two too fast then try to find Travis at the last second, and by then he's way late. Et cetera.
I'm not getting too worked up about it simply because we've seen this before, for several years now, and he always, eventually, gets himself sorted out.
However, I do worry that if we don't fix the protection and the weapons issues, this will become more the norm as the years go by.
