Fixable? Yes, but the video mash up clearly showed that his body was not cleanly aligned for the throw he was trying to make.

Went back and watched for that, you're absolutely right. Happens on the Downs airmail at the end of the half, as well as every high throw. The perfect throw to Granson, his back hip swung out. So this is quite clearly just a mechanical issue for an otherwise really accurate QB. They just need to coach him to plant his back foot in such a way that his hips are in the right position. I think scheming up some designed rollouts to the right will help with this as well, as he'll naturally have the correct footwork for those throws.
