If you watch him throw, you'll see that his mechanics/footwork are actually pretty bad. He doesn't step into any of his throws. They are all off his back foot. He still can't read a defense to save his life. As someone else mention, he plays shorter than his actual height. His timing and his accuracy are way off. He's hesitant in the pocket. He doesn't trust what he sees. He's indecisive. While he's tough as nails in taking hits, he's very squeamish and afraid of his own shadow. Even in his 4th year last year, he couldn't take command of his huddle or his team, i.e. severely lacking in the leadership department.
How much of that is "ingrained" at this point is unclear. If someone else does take him on, it will be a big project.
Did you ever watch steve young play for the buccaneers?
