That’s my fear. I don’t know if it’s confidence or if he’s worried he simply doesn’t have time to read through progressions. But it’s like he’s afraid to unload downfield because he doubts his ability to have read the coverage correctly. It feels like it’s mental right now, similar to what he went through in 2021.
Hell, in 2023, he pretty much won the Super Bowl by deciding to play it safe Alex style. I don’t know if our defense (currently Watson and the ability to generate pressure with four lineman) has the juice to go all the way with that strategy this year.
