A couple things I'll say is, 1) Pat needs to be more accurate across the board, not just one the deep shots. He's just not been consistently as accurate as he could be or as he needs to be, even on the shorter passes. And a lot of that is his footwork/throwing mechanics. He almost missed that short out-route to DHop because he threw that ball with no platform. Then that throw to DHop on the go-route was not well-placed and it was short, and most of that was the fact that he has no platform, and he throws that ball kind of 3/4 slot, instead of over the shoulder. And there was no reason for him to throw it the way he did.
And 2), he needs to trust his receivers more and throw with anticipation. That first INT doesn't happen if he trusts Gray to be where he's supposed to be and just throws when he hits his back foot. Baker would've thrown that ball on time.
If the cleans up just those two things, he'll look a lot better. Doesn't solve everything, but it'll probably help move the chains and probably his confidence. Ymmv.

You might be on to something. A lot of his throws have looked like soft lobs. I know Rodgers lost some accuracy and blamed it on not doing good old fashioned leg work. He had his back to back MVP seasons when he got back to heavy squats and upped his core work.
