He's off. Call it trying too hard to play hero ball, uncomfortable in the pocket, whatever you want. Not going to bring that up here. But he's not right, and he needs to figure it out soon.

I’ve been talking about the apparent lack of reading the field for a few weeks as well. He’s just bailing the pocket too quick at times or other times I think he’s expecting things to be open and determining where he’s going more than he should. Just doesn’t look comfortable sitting in the pocket for longer than a few seconds consistently right now.
