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.

I've thought the same thing to be honest. On that throw it looks like he picks him up late and panics and tries to rip it in there.
He definitely seems like he's playing to not make a mistake instead of to make a play, which is crazy to think. I don't think he cares about stats, but I can imagine that his bad statistical season is something he does not want to see get worse. He could have easily had four touchdowns and a classic mahomes day.
Honestly, in some ways I'd rather this be the issue. We know what Pat is capable of. It's good to see that Worthy is getting open at times. He easily could have two more touchdowns and a hundred more yards just on those two plays being executed slightly differently from both parties.
