Joe doesn't wear a visor, but I always thought a QB should wear a tinted visor (like Jim McMahon) because they can't see where he is looking.  Joe is really adept at looking one way with his head, but his eyes are looking a different way.  Those short passes, he doesn't look off and, like you said, teams can't get home as quick as he is getting the ball out and they just try to time their jumps.  The offensive line needs to improve at having their guys engaged, even when they aren't actively rushing the passer.  Tough, as you can't go upfield or you could be considered ineligible.  

One way to stop batted passes altogether is to find the attitude that came out and pounded the ball against Carolina and Atlanta.  Have that run game and you don't need those short RPOs as an "extension of the run game".  

I sure hope Mixon and Perine (and the line) can find some of that magic again.
