Yeah that could be it. I also think that because he knows he has a strong arm, he's scared he's going to overthrow someone if he just moons it so he just throws right at them on a line just to be safe. Kind of like how Alex Smith knew he didn't have a strong arm and would put everything he had into a throw and end up overthrowing the receiver. So it could be a case of overcorrection.
But that wouldn't explain the way he's overthrowing the deep ball on some plays. I don't know, just spitballing here.
