I love Max but at this stage don’t know if he has yet to develop poise, or just not accurate, or has no touch, or just so paranoid about interceptions that he is intentionally delivering the ball to spots that cannot be intercepted but would require a circus catch by the receiver. Hard to tell.
It appears to me that the whole offense operates under this mindset. I don't know, maybe he throws a ton of picks in practice so it's well founded, but we don't start throwing in the middle of the field until we are kind of in desperation mode, and I can't help but think the constant overthrowing on deep passes doesn't at least have something to do with coaches constantly being in his ear about throwing it to the other team.
Pure speculation though, I am at a loss for why the passing game is so inept, just trying to come up with theories that might make a little sense.
