If they changed his delivery to stop him from floating balls isn't it a bad sign that he is still floating balls. I feel like if he changed his mechanics to make him throw lower he would be putting more balls into the ground accidentally than floating it.
He has never been known, throughout his career, as a passer who was to duff a ball into the turf, he was known for floating longer balls and routes that required more touch. His delivery had a role in dictating that.
Changing one's delivery is not something that happens over night. It takes time. To expect a rookie QB to change his technique/mechanics within one short offseason without some slip ups in his delivery is a bit over the top.
With White's delivery, the one he had in college, it took him longer to get the ball out of his hand and there was less consistency with his long ball because of the longer delivery. More can go wrong with your release the further your arm has to travel throughout its' throwing motion. That was his main hit coming out into the draft. What was said over and over was "he is not all that accurate."
This is true to an extent. He never had a problem hitting a receiver with throws like: a dump off over the middle, throws the the flat, curls, hitches, in and out routes or even intermediate post or flag routes. His issue was consistency with the longer routes that either took longer to develop and required more touch and also the long ball. This is why in the combine, by all accounts, he was throwing the ball better than every QB out there, but you also heard "he has problems with his consistency as an accurate passer."
So with knowing that his issue has been floating passes on mostly longer balls and his kind of delivery; we know that when trying to change his throwing motion he is going to have goofs throwing the football, and that is what we are seeing/hearing right now.
