Trust in his receivers. He just let's the ball loose and his recievers run their route to the ball. For some reason Trevor has zero trust. He holds the ball waiting for them to get visibly open rather than trust they will complete their route and be open.

I mean, you can find plays where he should have let it fly and you can find plays when he totally trusts his guy.
There was a whole highlight reel posted showing all the throws that he made when the ball was released before the receiver came uncovered after the London trip. Pretty impressive stuff actually. But it hasn't been consistent. 

I think the fact that he's often under pressure in under 2 seconds is getting into his head and causing some hesitation and poor decisions now - moreso than it was early in the year. Let's not forget he's playing on a torn MCL with a brace - and he came up gimpy after a second quarter sack today when his cleat got hung up on the turf while going down. 

He makes mistakes that can't be blamed on anyone but him - put I think it's wise to consider the cumulative effect the consistently poor protection is having on him right now.
