He was hitting his mark on short and medium passes. I think the only "long" pass was down the middle, and the safety was in single coverage, so he wasn't well covered. I think 4-5 long passes on the sideline were ALL way long (exept one that was about 2 feet long). Some of these were after he went to shotgun.
I stand by my point that he will have a very tough time throwing long sideline routes. A good defense will creep up and cover the shorter routes like Seattle did in the Super Bowl. Earl Thomas was really challenging him all game long to throw deep. That was a while ago too...his deep arm accuracy has gotten worse since then.
