He's just too scared to pull the trigger on the plays top level QBs need to pull the trigger on.

Defenses are taking away his ability to run with the ball and are forcing him to play outside his comfort zone and he simply isn't responding.

He needs to be on a short leash after the bye week, but he won't be.

I tend to agree. To his defense he hasn't had an O line to protect him and after facing the D lines of the Texans Jets and Steelers he's still not getting comfortable. Hopefully the line gels and he has more time. Those wide open receivers need to be found. I'm about ready to move on from him no matter how many gigabytes he has.
