Absolutely. Are there fundamentals to catching the football? Are there an array of different catches to be practiced?
You cant just say "See the ball and catch it!"
Trust me, I get what you're saying. WR's go through catching drills every day (hand placement, above the waist, below the waist, back shoulder throws, and about 20 more). My point is, these are Division 1, SEC WRs and should shoulder some of the blame for dropping a ball. For example, Dural against Eastern Michigan (I believe) ran a wide open curl, Harris puts it between his numbers, and he flat out dropped it. I'm not going to sit here and blame the coach for that.
I guess what I'm saying is, if the WR is using everything he's coached, ie proper hand placement, and he still drops it for whatever reason, then that's on him.

Well then it's on Ball for putting him in the game. If the dude doesnt produce, find someone that will. And that's what almost happened to Dural earlier this season.
