Good take.
The other thing that is so agonizing to watch, he rarely throws an on-time pass. You just don't see successful QB's who hold the ball refusing to throw it to when and where it is supposed to go. Yeah, our WR corps is terrible, however these guys practice, they are on the field because the coaches have said they know the plays, so at some point your job is to do what you are doing in practice, which he simply struggles to do.
To me, the only thing that works with him is to go almost exclusively up-tempo and out of pocket. When he is asked to just be an athlete and make things happen, he generally succeeds. IMO Frank wants him to be this conventional pocket QB that dissects the D and throws these dimes in these complex route schemes- he isn't that guy.
