There are times when both Kelly and Thomas have been open on patterns and Jason (for some reason) is unable to get the ball to them. They may not be open by a wide margin, but as open as they're going to get by NFL standards. A receiver does not always have to be "wide open" to give him an opportunity to make a play on the ball. Being afraid of making a mistake or throwing the INT has affected the way Jason is playing. Once he comes to the realization receivers are not always going to be running "wide open", he'll trust them more and take advantage of that brief moment when the opening is there and they can make a play. It's a trust factor, with time they will get better.
