Unless I'm missing your point, which seems to be that Lassiter is at fault for not making those catches, because his one job is to catch the ball. It's an over-simplification and ignores the QBs role in this.

Puka would catch all of those. "Fault" is kind of a weird term in sports.

I disagree. The QBs job is to get the ball to his WRs in the best place

Nope, not just the AZ game. He has had multiple games with multiple drops.
