In Bevell's defense, you can't scheme your way out of certain personnel limitations.  It might work for a game or two, but when opponents get some film to look at, and see what you are doing, they adjust, and if your personnel isn't good enough to counter-adjust, you are pretty screwed.  Right now, we don't have a receiver that can stretch the defense, so the defenders are no longer afraid of getting beat deep, so they cover the shorter routes that were working earlier in the year, and there's nothing we can do about it.  

That's what I'm noticing.  That's why Trevor is trying to throw to guys who are well-covered.  There aren't a lot of open receivers because defenses are starting to squat on the short routes, because they are not afraid of getting beat deep.   If you are an offensive coordinator, you can't scheme your way out of that.

Bevell has plenty of opportunity to scheme more wisely than he is/has. 

For starters - there is no basis for not including more quick release stuff for Trevor. 

It works when he employs it, but he doesn't do it enough. 
Same can be said for his boneheaded use of James Robinson. 

The number of three and outs this year that have been at least two (sometimes 3) straight pass attempts of 15 yards or more is egregious. 

Small ball dink and dunk stuff is an obvious prescription for a rookie QB, and there is no good reason it isn't happening more.  

I'm sure more talent would make Bevell look better, but he's absolutely not getting the most out of what he does have available.
