Yep I was doing the same thing, it's the Brett Favre Syndrome lol!
I will give you an example in that Chiefs game in the red zone, I went looking for my TE Kelce he had 3 backs around him looked to the left macklin was cover EVERYTHING was covered instead of throwing it risking it I scrambled a bit, lucky for me the O-Line was on fire this game and I had no pressure and Kelce had moved open to the right and was wide opened and I threw it straight to him for the TD.
2 things really, I didn't take the risk and force it, I waited luckily I had time to throw it thanks to the O-Line, and waited till I seen someone opened. if the O-Line was bad I would have been sacked no doubt or thrown it away. but in the past I would have forced it.
