Yea I feel like he doesn't throw his receivers open ever. There's no much anticipation; only throws when a guy seems obviously open.
And his accuracy has been pretty poor this year.
He typically under throws his receivers on deeper throws. They often have to wait on the ball, when if they're hit in stride, it's an easy walk in TD. This has happened quite a bit this season. Couple of those turned into INTs because the ball took so long to get there.
His accuracy has been pretty bad as of late. I don't know if he's battling a shoulder injury or what, but something is wrong. It's like he has lost all his confidence and can't hit the broad side of a barn. Maybe it's both. You can really start seeing it in the receivers body language on the field. You can tell they're starting to get fed up. They're open constantly, Minshew just continue to miss them, or just can't find them.
His lack of arm strength makes him hold the ball too long. Him knowing he can't fit the ball into a tight window and doesn't want to risk an INT. He often has to put a lot of air under his throws, to try and mask the lack of arm strength, but that just gives the defender an extra second to try and make a play.
If we're picking in the top 3 (we'd pick 3rd if the draft was tomorrow, behind Jets and Giants), it's really starting to look like a QB has to be in the discussion.
