Yes, he gets the ball out late on a lot of deep throws. This could be a factor of his age. With age you can get stronger, but you can't get quicker in terms of reflexes and your depth perception changes. So it may be that his arm is just as strong but he can't see the field & react in the quick fashion that he used to.
He's also much less likely to throw the ball into traffic or gamble than when he was young. Sometimes I think he was too conservative, but overall I'll give Brunelll his props & hope he can stay healthy. He deserves to end his career on a high note.
