Passing Game Questions

I've read the last couple days threads where wherever blame is placed someone makes an excuse and moves blame somewhere else. It's the coaches, it's Jennings, it's the young WRs, there's nothing wrong. . .
It's naïve to say nothing's wrong or it's just youth. Teams load the box to stop the run. There is no reason to not expect at least moderate success in the passing game. 47.1% completions and 9 TDs from your starting QB is not success. There are young QBs all over division 1 with less weapons having better success.
So the questions:
1. Why not get TEs more involved in the passing game?
2. Why not use WR screens or RB screens to get players in space and build confidence in your QB?
3. Why not use more quick slants vs slow developing plays where AJ tends to lock on for too long?
AJ seems to be able to only complete a deep fly or a dump off to a RB. Honestly watching the games it's like watching a team that doesn't practice passing. Drops, indecision, bad throws, bad timing, bad routes. Are they this green, this bad or this poorly coached?
Reality is that if the run game gets bottled up, outside of a possible big play in the passing game, there is little expectation that the offense can consistently move down the field through the air.

We did run slants
They didn't catch them. We throw to tight ends, usually are dropped.
As bad as the QB play is, overall receivers haven't held up their end of the deal

1. Why not get TEs more involved in the passing game? Too much traffic over middle of field for young QB to read coverage.
2. Why not use WR screens or RB screens to get players in space and build confidence in your QB? IDK
3. Why not use more quick slants vs slow developing plays where AJ tends to lock on for too long? Threw a slant and it was intercepted after the receiver fell down.
