Every time I watch fitz try to throw the ball it makes me think of Rick Ankiel. Decent pitcher and then one day out of the blue he just couldn’t do it anymore. Every ball was to the backstop, and this isn’t even an analogy about wayward throws, but they feel similar because it feels like fitz just has no idea what he’s doing. Moorhead didn’t teach him to throw off the back foot late over the middle, or into double coverage on your first read because that’s who you decided was getting the back pre snap.
Maybe he needs to go see a sports psychologist or get a slump buster but there something off in his decision making process. Whether it’s keeping the ball 900 straight times on read options or passing up a wide open easy pass in the flats, he’s lost it between the ears. Not saying Thompson will be Daunte Culpeper but he doesn’t have to be in order to be an improvement.
