I agree with this.  IMO, there has been a change in the way Nassib reacts in the pocket in recent weeks.  It looks as though he was told that from this point forward, if you feel pressure and sees some daylight, make a run for it and try and salvage some yards. 
 
Up until recently, it was rare when Nassib would run from the pocket.  He would hang in there waiting for someone to get open for a long time (and often take a sack as a result).
 
I think he has overreacted to the freedom to run and it has hurt his effectiveness.    We are running 3 or 4 WRs out there on almost every play these days; there should be someone open eventually.
 
In my opinion, when pressure comes these days, he misses throwing the ball short to guys like Bailey and Provo, who were usually near the LOS and relatively easy to get the ball to when the primary receiver is covered.  Adjusting to finding 2nd and 3rd targets who are running downfield looks like it has been a challenge for him.  Doesn't help that they are usually relatively well covered as well. 
 
I don't see the WRs realizing Nassib is in trouble, breaking off their patterns and heading back to him to help him out either.
 
This shouldn't be that difficult to fix.
