For example, when the pocket is breaking down? Throwing the ball away for another shot is usually better than an Int or sack. Realizing that you're not fast enough to scramble for 3rd and very long, and leaning to slide is another thing to work on. Not getting locked on to your star receiver is going to be tough, but those other guys are out there for a reason, too.
He absolutley needs to learn how to keep himself out of harm's way when it's avoidable. That play where he got destroyed by Adrian Amos was flat out stupid. He goes head first instead of sliding and pays the price. He was trying to make tackles after his INTs in the Bears game. That's unacceptable IMO, just like it was when Andy did it in 2015 and cost us one of the best seasons they've ever had.
