My central point is that Jimmy simply had not been throwing the ball much in the previous games. Whether on open plays or when he needed to improvise, he didn't do it. So, I am suggesting that a part of the blame is on the fact he was not called on to throw the ball under pressure very often.
Sure you can throw that out there as well.
Just in those clips I provide he had time to throw the ball and simply made the wrong read. He's gotta be better end of the day.
...and that is on Jimmy. He does need to be better. However, in the past month, he had thrown fewer passes in that entire stretch than most QBs throw in a single game.
Joe Montana talked about how Bill Walsh demanded simple plays and reads be run time after time after time until they became second nature. Then they ran the same thing in games. That was why it became so instinctive for Joe. Is that happening with Jimmy? IDK, but to be missing such simple reads suggests more time be spent there.
