I've been saying that TL is under pressure on the downfield passing attempts too much and that's affecting the success rate as well as the reduced frequency with which longer passes are called 

"4th most pressured QB on downfield passes" quoted here supports that

The issue is he holds the ball too long as he waits for them to get open. If it isn't there, come off the route. He is locked on to it and missing the open WRs.

I'll take the open 15 yard passes vs holding the ball for a 40 yard pass.

He has issues identifying if a WR will be open deep right now and waits until they are open or forces it.

That ain't it at all.

His pocket time is 2.0 seconds. After the first 4 weeks he has the shortest pocket time of ALL starting quarterbacks. 
(in case you misunderstand - this is the amount of time on average over the last four games that he has before throwing the ball, being sacked, being pressured, or forced to relocate to evade pressure/lack of pocket) 
He was pressured 111 times last year. (not a low number)
Right now he's on pace to be pressured 163 times this season. A VERY high number. 


I think there have been 3 or 4 plays this year where he locked onto Ridley or someone else and didn't look to an open guy and that has you confused about what is actually happening. 

On the downfield (longer) pass attempts - he's not holding the ball too long. It's a normal amount of time, he's just being pressured quickly on 46% of those attempts and taking a shot on many of them too. 

The IOL protection is affecting Lawrence's ability to do what he does well this season more than it did last year. And it was definitely a problem last year too.
