I thought that was pretty significant.
His arm/nerves may still be returning...same goes for his muscle memory, but at his age and by the physical look of his throwing arm, it may be at the point where "what you see is what you get"
Now, his game has always been more mental that physical...but the guy is a competitor and if his arm is only at 85-90% that is gonna impact a lot of his velocity on normal throws.

Hes never going to return to what he was a couple of years ago. He could make all the throws then, thats what made him so dangerous paired with his tremendous ability to read defenses and get the ball out quickly. Itll be really interesting to see how his games changed and how effective he can be.
I think the drop off will be similar to that of Palmer.
