Saying that I think most people are in agreement the one area he needs to develop is accuracy.  Specifically on these shorter crossing routes.  Deep passes down the seam, post routes, even comebackers where a guy sits down, he seems pretty accurate for the most part.  His strength is driving the ball down the field.  Whereas the timing routes where players are running perpendicular across the field or running towards the sideline at not quite a 90% degree angle are where he struggles from time to time.  And for some odd reason, it's almost as if the offense has now been specifically designed where these are the majority of passing routes.  Almost as if they are trying to focus on the weakest part of his game.  I get we have zero deep speed.  And you constantly hear about how "compressed" the offense is.  But they are intentionally making it more compressed than it needs to be and focusing on plays that aren't his strength.  It's bizarre.
