Take a look at the major interceptions (not one that were tipped, etc) that DB has thrown as a Bill. Many times it almost seems like he has TOO much time to throw. He is a rhythm QB and needs to drop back and fire. All too often he makes the wrong decision or locks in on a receiver when given too much time.
Give Drew Less Time to Throw??

No offense, but that is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. The problem is not with the amount of time that Drew has to throw but rather the defensive schemes that are employed against him. The Dolphins primarily played nickel defense and Drew had time to throw because the Phins were only rushing their front four. They played their defense similar to the way the Pats played us last year and the Giants played us in the first Superbowl. They basically gave us the short underneath routes but as usual Drew wouldn't make the throw. Drew never looks comfortable on short throws and this will continue to be our undoing. If you take away the long ball from Bledsoe he starts to look uncomfortable and forces his throws.
The reason he often looks better with less time to throw is because the defense has committed more men to the pass rush which in turn opens opportunities in the secondary.
