I think part of the issue is scheme and his role in it.
Lots of contested balls on deep throws.
This passing attack never had rhythm like it did under Daboll.

David would have caused a drop or INT on that 98 yarder that Fitzpatrick caught for him.
He doesn't get short crossers. He gets low percentage deep/intermediate routes. Your slot guy better have a higher catch rate since he's running 5 and 10-yard routes. Beasley had one of the worst drops of the year vs Miami. Diggs is a top 5 WR in this league.
Diggs is one of the best receivers in the league and his numbers fell off a cliff as the year went on. Gabe started this season hot if you remember.
As for a career, players develop in a system. Gabe will have these amazing toe drag catches and then drop the next one. Why we aren't using him underneath as a big bodied outlet more often is beyond me.
Our receivers constantly have to adjust to throws and never get yac.
Why is that?
This is simply one of those instances on this forum where we overreact.
Davis is a decent WR and we wanted him to be great.
He didn't deliver but I also don't think we should be looking at his catch per target rate to try to say he's terrible.

It is if it hits him between the 1 and the 3 and he drops it.

It's either:
a) that's what he was coached to do.
b) when he starts doing it the coach does something to rectify it.
c) the coaches have very little control of the team. Things are disorganized and haphazard. It causes a lot of communication issues and dysfunction.
which is is?
I saw the rate of catches on different depths... 5-10 11-20, so on and so forth. he has legit the lowest catch rate of any WR at pretty much every depth of pass in the NFL, meanwhile diggs is at the top of the list, and beasley with buffalo is at or higher then his career average.
meaning?
JA isn't the problem, the problem is davis has hands of stone.
btw: mckenzie isn't much different.
and it's not just the hands that arre the problem, mckenzie and davis regularly run the worst routes I've ever seen, sometimes the wrong ones but often just bad routes. It ruins the whole play as drawn up if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time. it makes your QB play hero ball, because he just looked to you, planning to throw it because it's a cover 3 look and your route should be open, but you ran such an awful route, you're not in the right place and are covered... now JA has a pocket collapsing and he needs to start to run for it. Don't get me wrong, JA sometimes doesn't see the field right, but it's a lot less common then you'd think, the wrs running terrible routes however is an every play problem. it's why JA got Beasley and Brown back. He couldn't handle those two numbskulls ****ing it up every down.

My wife told me that if I had a dollar for every girl who found me unattractive, girls would find me VERY attractive.
MY WIFE SAID THAT!!!
A lot has to do with the rise of Stefon Diggs and also in the lack of effort.
