A lot of variation can be seen in depth, angle on cuts etc.  I suspect practice is one thing with most of our receivers and the game is another.  This forces him to almost stare down the receiver at times reducing the window requiring a harder throw. To his credit he has never said that or blamed anyone. Can you imagine being in the pocket and during one of your reads you see 2 of your guys run into each other ?  Kid is doing the best he can with the hand dealt in my opinion.

He's struggling to read the coverage, not wondering about the routes.  He's not sure who and how the defense is covering the receivers so he's late to realise the right order progression and subsequently not sure who will be open until they are open. That's why he's staring down receivers.

There are two ways to fix this problem:

1. Lots of reps so he learns how defenses play against the Jags.  But opposing defenses are too sophisticated in the NFL and this is why he regressed, failing to read defenses despite the game time as well as falling into bad mechanics habits as he tries to compensate his lacking mental gifts with physical gifts.

2.  Coach, coach and coach some more. Get the guy a QB coach he can work with.
