All I know is, there are a few things you can tinker with:
-Spread the offense by throwing to lots of targets, and stretching the field (Smith can at least do this horizontally). Open up space for McCluster and some underneath stuff
-They stopped developing him as a receiver (bad move). Go all-in on training him to be a slot receiver. Stop making him split time at different positions. If he gets better at the position, he puts himself in a better position to run after the catch and becomes more confident in himself. If he continues to suck as a receiver, he's a lost cause
-Go back to the Weis model where you motion him all over the field, which I believe at the very least sets up opportunities for other guys like Charles
-Stop forcing the ball into his hands. If he isn't good enough that his touches don't come more naturally, then he's a lost cause
-Don't guarantee his job. If he can't hold on to the ball or if he doesn't show progress, it should be clear that Wylie is in line to take his job
Again, I am not saying these will fix the problem. I just think these are reasonable things to at least try out before saying he's a guaranteed bust or that he can't possibly improve.
