He was laser sharp on some passes and threw horrible floater ducks on many others. I have never seen so many BAD "easy" short pass attempts. He does not know when to flip it softly and lead the receiver. He just doesn't. He is not a touch and feel finesse passer.
He has a ton of positives and I love the guy but let's keep it real. Those stats also are largely padded / inflated by the dink and dunks after 3rd Q (some of which were barely caught as they were thrown so badly)
Then, he has this horrible habit of throwing it on 3rd down to a target that is covered and well-short of the 1ST down. Drives me insane.
He was not even close to his sharpest today.
He had almost 300 yards going into the 4th though...
Yes, some throws were off - on both sides - thanks in large part to the weather.

It doesn't take a "homer" to see the weather was an issue on both sides. I guess no one saw Ben throwing high, completing 51% and throwing a couple picks? Slipping a few times on the grass and looking at (and wiping off) his hands?
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
