But in order to run the offense that crowton wants he needs a decision maker and dual threat guy. Crowton has had to create an offense that is enigmatic at best.

IMO, Crowton is receiving way too much of the blame for the O-woes. No doubt, some will mention the "Crowtonic-trend" (first year success followed by decline) but until someone normalizes the main factors at play it's difficult to blame all of the O-woes on him. For example, in '08 GC was forced to use Hatch/JL (and eventually JJ). Apart from the OM game we scored enough points to win/be competitive in every game.

IMO, we are no longer seeing GC in full control of play-calling. Indeed, he may "call" the plays but the menu from which Les allows him to choose is sorely constrained.

So if JJ is going to be the QB and we're going to mostly ignore our talent at receiver, etc I have few problems with the play-calling.

This brief summary is pretty much all that needs to be said. Re-watching the game confirmed what I thought-primary receiver covered, pitty pat go the feet and it turns into a run-as someone else said, at least he is running forward more than backwards, for those that are trying desperately to find some improvement over last year. Therefore, we are destined to have high completion percentage, low passing yardage, and a high number of running attempts by the QB on our stat sheet. More and more it becomes apparent that our limitations at QB are a much greater blame (or are driving) playcalling.
