It was glorious.
I haven't seen him do it for quite some time, it's a rarity nowadays if it happens.

I think last season regressed him with all the drops and picks. I think he's gunshy this season because of it. Simply, he had his receivers drop 44+ passes last year and I forget how many turned into INTs. And that number is a little low, because PFR/ESPN still has Skyy only dropping 2 passes, which is 100% wrong, as we all know.
So, I think Pat's Risk vs. Reward meter is effed up. He's thinking, "the pass has to be dead-nuts perfect for my receivers (other than Travis) or he's going to drop it/cause an INT." So if he doesn't think he can put it right on the $$$, he hesitates. Or he tries to guide the ball, instead of just throwing it. Either way, he's not pulling the trigger on time, or not pulling it at all.
Just my opinion.
