He is very talented, but has been very poorly coached, has poor footwork and throwing mechanics, which has a lot to do with why his throws are so damn inconsistent. On one play he will throw a perfect pass that a lot of guys playing on Sunday would struggle to make, and the very next throw he misses his guy by a mile. His release point is also waaaaay too low which is why he likely has had a higher percentage of passes batted down of the scrimmage than any 6'6 QB in the history of the game.
Yes he is playing behind an absolutely terrible offensive line which has forced him to use his legs a lot more, but even when given ample time, he is hardly surgical.
