And yes, some of his picks were misfires, but MOST of them were just god-awful decisions. And the crux of those bad decisions was a bad process - guy locked on his targets something awful. So maybe they just cannot break him of that habit.
But I wouldn't say the majority of his interceptions were simply mis-thrown balls. A guy who simply cannot consistently throw the football but isn't constantly putting the ball in harms way doesn't throw 30. You know who that guy is? Josh Allen. Allen threw only 9 interceptions but he was the most erratic passer I saw in the league last year, including Trubisky. That guy simply doesn't know where the ball's going when it leaves his hand. And those lead to a ton of yardage left on the field, poor YAC results and iffy overall productivity, but most of them don't lead to interceptions.
Winston's problem is that he simply doesn't manipulate defenses and worse, allows defenses to manipulate him.

A while back on Sirius Radio NFL Channel, one of the shows said that not only did Winston have 30 INT's, but also there were 21 drops by the defense too. Could have been as high as 51 INT's.
