Bo Nix has inconsistent deep ball placement and he tends to hang up his WRs with those throws too. Should we give a bit more of a pass to Franklin? Didn't think so.

What I think is that the Texas OC would rather dump the ball off to Worthy and abuse his speed against collegiate competition than push the ball deep, except to maintain the threat of it. But in the few opportunities you do have to go deep, they have a low success rate due to deep ball inaccuracy. Sorta like how Jaylen Waddle doesn't get as many looks because Tyreek is on the field.
