I would say he's trying, but the results just aren't there.

Yup - the WRs are just not bringing in too many of these balls. Hardman's was worse because he alligator armed it - felt pressure coming over the middle and you could see him tapping the brakes as he was trying to bring the ball in. Just a straight up chickenshit drop, IMO.
As I mentioned in the other thread, too many of these drops are big damn plays. Most of these aren't dump passes for 3-4 yards on 2nd downs. They're 3rd down passes and/or 10-15 yard gains that don't get converted and lead to punts. They're effectively turnovers.
Yeah, drops happen - but they've gotta cut these in half. You can't have 4-5/gm like this with regularity.
