I mean, if he hits a wide open AJ Green on Sunday (who BURNED Ramsey on that play), we have a touchdown and he isn't so upset now. And we could possibly be going into the half with the lead. Instead, it sails out of bounds.
Yeah, I think he has gotten the "yips". He's feeling pressure that isn't there at times, and is rushing EVERYTHING. The thing that frustrates me is, this is essentially a replay of what we saw about ten years ago. You have a QB that can't move very well (Palmer), and you let the line go to shit. You now have a QB that struggles when under constant pressure, and you let the line go to shit. I mean, do these guys not read the scouting reports on their OWN players?
EDIT: Let's not forget, at the beginning of 2016, he was still playing well. Put up 366 yds on the Jets in week 1 while being sacked 7 times. I think the constant hits have gotten to him, and thrown his internal clock all out of whack.....which has also affected his mechanics.
