The thing is, the OC should be calling plays to the strengths of the players he has around him. Gabbert has always been most successful in shotgun and 3 receiver sets generally. Where's the up-tempo play calling we saw in pre-season that he seemed so comfortable with? Also not to mention the pretty much zero involvement of Robinson up to this point.

 

Not only is this play calling atrocious, but Gabbert looked uncomfortable on pretty much every play. They keep saying they want him to play to his strengths.... well then how about a little bit more creative calling than run-run-screen-punt. You can't even blame a lot of the screens on him checking down since they're designed quick screens from the start.

 

Hopefully it changes with Blackmon coming back... but I doubt it.
