It’s no different than with deVito in this sense, most passing plays the OL doesn’t afford time to sit back and read what the D gives you/go through progessions (see above) and allow for the practice of good mechanics, mostly because you’re running for your life not to get sacked.

So in these scenarios he runs and throws ridiculously off balance so of course his mechanics suck. The few times he has time to sit back his mechanics are adequate but the arm is lacking, unlike Devito.

But as I said from day one Devito for all his great passing mechanics and nfl arm, can’t/couldn’t negotiate and succeed with the intangibles needed for the position at a school like syracuse with the o line is not stellar with any consistency.

So yeah, just like with dungy, I’ll take the weaker arm poorer but still sufficient enough mechanics with a kid whose overall skill set can put a team in a position to compete in close games with anyone, and if not for three games in a row with poor coaching decisions, likely win some of those games.

Now that he’s clearly the #1 guy going forward he can work on and improve in the areas he’s lacking, mostly in the offseason.  The natural talent is there, the arm and mechanics sufficient (though as you note in need of improvement).
