He's at his best with a quick passing game where he can grip and rip swiftly to his receivers, playing point guard from the pocket. Altmyer's ball placement can wax and wane. He can be a streaky passer with solid ball placement that falls off with him tossing balls behind his receivers, putting them in harm's way. He's a see-it-throw-it passer with few anticipatory moments from the pocket. This leads his trigger to be slow at times as he waits for his receivers to uncover well before ripping a pass. Altmyer operated in a collegiate offense that was reliant upon first reads and screens. He has zero issues forcing the ball to his first read, even if they are covered tightly. I appreciate aggressiveness with passers and giving their guys chances to win at the catch point, but Altmyer can be borderline reckless with this at times. His pocket awareness isn't great. Altmyer can look like a frog in a pot of boiling water at times. By the time he realizes the walls are closing in, it is too late.
