And that's not really a trust problem so much as it is being smart and knowing who your teammates are and arent.

Right, but there's trust that a guy is going to be in the right place when he's running a route. There's trust that if Mahomes puts it on a guy's left shoulder before he turns around that the guy breaks the right way and makes the catch rather than its being an easy pick.
And while practice definitely helps to refine some of that stuff, I'm sure there are players who just panic and don't show up in actual games (Moore??). And the only way to confidently break that cycle is to give the guy more reps/chances at game speed until it's really conclusive that it's not gonna work.
The struggles that the WRs and Mahomes are having are not mutually exclusive. There is no doubt it is a lot more on the WRs than it is on Mahomes though, but the onus is on both to try and figure it out.
