From my point of view, it's a combination of issues. Patrick is an exceptional talent yet I believe defenses are exploiting his strength of unscripted plays and showing looks that aren't what the defense is actually doing. Case in point is his tendency to roll out to the right; there's been multiple instances where he does this and the DE is anticipating this and is in his face. Add that he tends to take deep drops and the RT appears to be giving pass/run plays away by how he lines up and his first move on the snap.
Add that he doesn't trust his receivers and many times, Kelce is being mauled so he hesitates throwing the ball to the open receiver because of the lack of trust. I believe in the fake it until you make it theory however I'm not sure you can do that in a pressure situation.
