That's exactly what it is.

The first thing I noticed about Smith's throwing motion was irregular position the nose of the ball points toward when he winds up. The nose of the football is directed outward at an abstract angle, pointing away during his windup. Smith had this low-and-away windup where the ball would get as low as his midsection.
This prevented him from having a quick release because in Smith's windup, the ball had to travel too far before it was airborne. Smith also repeatedly threw off-balance and with his numbers directly facing his target.
