I think it's clear as day he has no confidence in this group and is leaning too much on waiting for Kelce to find a hole that might be more comfortable for Pat than throwing a quick cross to someone like Moore or Watson.

Yes.
When a QB isn't getting time to throw, I don't blame them for getting jittery. That's basic self-preservation.
When a QB gets plenty of time to throw (Mahomes does) and just won't make the reads and throw the ball, yes, you can blame him for it.
Stop trying to do their jobs for them. Do your job. Throw the damn football.
If they don't catch it, you forcing the next one into Kelce isn't going to help things (like the INT he threw). The alternatives are no better. So you have what you have - live with it. And if it's not enough then it gets addressed the following season.
But this isn't a situation like Jordan not having anyone he wants taking the last shot so he takes it himself. He HAS to get a ball to
someone. So run the offense, throw it to the open man and the chips will fall where they fall.
The hero ball shit and locking onto Kelce is creating more problems than it solves.
