This will always lead to bad decisions and the attendant issues such as INTs.
The only way this issue gets resolved is playing in the games. Practice can not simulate gametime situations, game film can not give you a feel for how many more microseconds you have to get rid of the ball before getting smacked. Again, the only way to get the game on the field to slow down for you is to experience it.
There is no way to know when this transition will occur either. One day, in the middle of a game most likely, it will kick in. Then we will truely see what this young man is capable of at this level. But sitting on the bench will never allow his brain to make the needed transition that will lead to possible greatness.

Thank you.
That is the point I've been trying to make with my comments about there being no substitute for game experience. I just did a bad job getting my point across.
That comment has been stuck in my head, ever since a SB MVP mentioned it to me at a charity event.
