My optimism is that Nunes is "pulling the string" a bit on this throws to avoid interceptions.
If you have a fear that you're going to sail a throw and get it picked, you throw low to avoid this at all costs, incompletions be damned. If you have a fear of pick-6's, you through to lead the receiver in a way that only he is the guy who even has a chance at it.
Does anybody else see this?
It seems to me that Nunes can be less cautious with his throws. Maybe it would just mean balls get completed to guys in the other jerseys, but now is the time to force this adjustment and just see how things play out.
