If you want him to stay on reads for a bit longer that is a bit unreasonable, especially given the lack of consistency for pass blocking. Blake was actually quicker on his time to throw last year.

It's not necessarily "late" in the grand scheme of a typical NFL drop-back and throw. It's late in relation to his decision to throw it elsewhere instead, to check it down ,or to a lesser extent to take off running from pressure. 
In other words - right after he chooses a target  - there is sometimes a better one coming free if he'd wait just a beat longer. 
Again - you can find this all over the tape for half the QBs in the league.
His timing in general has always been wildly suspect though -  and I think that this exacerbates the problem with his indecision to throw to the longer developing routes. He doesn't always trust he'll get it there on time if he has more than one defender to worry about it or if he can't put some air under it. 
There was a play in Indy where Westbrook or Moncrief ran an intermediate out route - and the receiver was open for about four strides of the route - but Blake threw it so late the defender had time to close and the receiver had to slow down to keep from running out of bounds. This type of timing is a factor in this discussion as well. He didn't give his guy a chance on what would have been a 20 yard gain.

All of this comes down to how efficiently he can get through his progression of reads and choose the better target.  It's not very efficient and it's obviously inconsistent as well.
