His passes have a lot of air under them and I’m afraid he will be prone to interceptions.

He is definitely the "gunslinger" type. He will throw a lot of picks until you learns to settle down.

I didn't watch the spring game, so this is just me reading what's typed out.

"Passes have a lot of air under them" sounds like soft floaters. That's a big change from what I saw last year, he seemed to want to lean into the pass and rifle it to his target. Is he trying to show more touch?
BTW this doesn't sound like a gunslinger. I always think of Favre with that description, trying to throw THROUGH defenders.

Did you just mistype, or was he throwing softballs out there?

Was Burrow a "Gunslinger"?
He said, "sometimes when the receiver isn't open I throw it up knowing Chase, Marshall, or Jefferson will go get it".
In the Spring game, Nuss threw no interceptions. One pass was tipped by a D Lineman but it wasn't close to being intercepted. Another was a 50/50 ball to the TE but not in the defenders hands.
In contrast, remember the pass to Helaire across the middle, in the Championship game. Burrow hit the Clemson DB in the hands, but he dropped the ball.
If you are going to count bad throws as possible interceptions, how about counting "almost TDs". The Nuss pass to Hilton in the corner. If Hilton had better concentration and got his foot down, it would have been a TD. The same with the pass to Jennings where he missed the catch and was injured. If that had been Marshal, it would have been a catch and probably a TD.
It works both ways.
