What I sort of gather from the films isn't so much that he doesn't understand the mechanics of good footwork as much as he just has a really superior sense of timing which overrides that desired form.  Like Big Ben.  His arm follows his mind's eye for exactly when to let the sucker fly in order to accomplish the completion.  On some highlights, it looked like he was throwing to a different receiver than the one who actually caught the ball.

 

He almost looks like a center-fielder throwing home to beat the runner.  Form takes a backseat to getting the ball there on time (as does a nice tight spiral).  His timing and delivery are what I like best about his skill-set.  

 

I'm sure his feet can be improved, but the problem is unlikely to ever go away completely.  

 

He really is a composite of so many outstanding Qbs.  The list of truly top-tier qualities that he brings to the table is long indeed.
