Why do receivers stop running really deep routes w Henry at QB?

His throw power isn't even bad.

Many times w Henry I stare down a crosser waiting for him to run past the safety then he just hesitates RIGHT AS I THROW IT to him & safety easily picks it off.

I notice this a ton, I'm guessing the AI looks at the "No tight spirals" trait into effect & just assumes you can't make that throw so he stops running.

Idk I tried giving his Slinger 1 release one more chance before M22 ends but nah lol dude is absolute buns.

I guess I'm riding off into M22 sunset w Cam.

I never had an issue with recievers not finishing their routes with Henry, but I am not a fan of Slinger 1 like everyone else seems to be. My preference is definitely Gen 3 followed by Traditional 1. Slinger 1 was super nice on short dump offs and drags out of the pocket against heavy blitzes, but anything past 15-20 yards felt like it took a while to get out and if you were having to move even a little bit to buy time, forget about it. I got sacked so many times by not being able to throw the ball away outside the pocket because the windup took forever.

I get why people like Slinger 1, but it definitely didn't fit the way I like to play.
