I feel after watching the all-22 of several 2016 games that his footwork and hip-turn were the big differences in his 2015 semblance of form and his 2016 regression.

 

The left-handedness would certainly explain why, late in development, he is still battling odd tendencies with stepping into a right-handed throw.

 

In 2015 he was semi-consistent with the feet and hips. (not nearly consistent enough for long term success IMO - but showed awareness of it)

In 2016 he was all over the map with where his feet were upon release of the football.

 

It was much more inconsistent from week 2 until week 16 this season.  In weeks 1, 16 and 17 he showed more consistency with his feet. This will be a major hurdle for whomever is guiding him this offseason.
