Patrick has not been himself this year. He’s missed Worthy on multiple wide open deep shots this year.
He was 3 steps behind the defense vs Denver and SF and Mahomes made poor throws.

I blame it 100% on the LT. He has no confidence in his protection even when there actually is a pocket to move up into.

It's 100 percent this. Part is not trusting wide outs. You can see he throws like he means it to dhop, Kelce and occasionally Watson. He's rarely using the rifle to throw to anyone else. But Not trusting his back side has him thinking about things other than the throw and coverage. I'd imagine we could get away with a sub par play at any other position on the line from what we've seen. I was not a Smith or OBJ fan but both of them had him more settled than what we've seen so far. They usually lost slow at the least.

Fellas - he hasn't had a good deep ball his entire career.
He just used to have Tyreek Hill out there flagging it down.
He needs to work on his deep ball technique. Probably can't be done until the offseason. But he throws it flat and always has.
O.City thinks he throws it that way because he's late to pull the trigger and has to get more on it. It's as logical a reason as any, really. I think he's just in love with his arm a bit and has never had a good 'run under' receiver - even Hill preferred to jump up and turn to catch it.
In either event, it's just a technique issue that he's going to want to work on. I see no reason to believe he can't eventually get it figured out but right now it's just not a club he has with any regularity.
