This is what has been missing at Miami for a very long time.

What's missing isn't guys like DJ. Unfortunately, that's our problem. We have too many guys like DJ on the team. Plenty of stars but little production.
DJ has had an excellent season so far. 17-2 TD-INT ratio, and undefeated. Over 300 yards rushing and 4 TDs. 153 QBR. He didn’t play well against Syracuse, true.

He‘s unfortunately following Trevor Lawrence.

No offense but this is a very simplistic and superficial view. It is a bit more complicated than this.

There were so many more issues in those games than just a WR getting open (BTW there were many plays with open WRs). It was not the only issue. It would not have helped the OL, the D the special teams or TVD from throwing the ball into the dirt to wide open WRs.

They were not prepared to play MT and other games and it was clear as day. Do we beat MT with a few players like that...Maybe. But that's MT and we should need him to beat MT. Besides, he would probably be just as ill-prepared as the rest of the team.

It is not just about getting better players.
Better players make other players around them play better. Who knows, maybe we get out to a big lead because Addison goes off and Steele decides to play a different coverage on those long bombs and we don't give them up. It's all speculative.
