Yes, I am well aware that a QB has to go through progressions. I played football. I also find the whole "he goes through progressions and he may have moved on from the WR before he popped open" as an excuse as well. When you have WR's running longer routes, they are almost never the first read. More often than not, the progression goes middle route, long route, check down/short route (unless its a quick hitch or slant or something like that).
So for Alex to have "moved to another progression before the long route becomes open" is really nonsense. There are many examples every game where Alex is looking at an open receiver, and chooses the MORE open receiver for a minimal gain because it is a virtually risk free pass. My problem is, if Alex is as accurate as some claim, the pass attempt that he decided to pass up should NOT be deemed risky. Its not about "taking chances" as "Sandy Cheeks" says. Alex's overly cautious playing has trained you to think that.

Game situation, player being thrown too, etc. Are the chiefs winning? are they losing? what down is it? what quarter is it?
How good is the Oline holding up? Where are the mismatches? What was the game plan?
So take the top 5 to 10 teams.. is EVERY QB doing what you are stating every single play? Does every single ply with the same style? how successful have they been?
