So, this (Nassib's touch on long passes or even throwing a  highly catchable ball on short passes; & how well our receivers catch the ball) is part of the equation.   Graham has come a long way as a receiver, but he isn't going to catch every ball.  Wales -- mainly a blocking TE. Chew and others -- you can see whether they get separation or not (they don't for the most part).   You are always going to have drops on some of those "catchable" balls -- for example, the throw to Lemon in the end zone where he was extended and sandwiched between defenders.  Catchable, but difficult.
I am all for adding new things to the offense.  But if there were a silver bullet in throwing on first down in the first series, Marrone would have gone there long ago. As a philosophy, he doesn't want Nassib to be in second & long or third & long and getting pressured every time he drops back.
I get the frustration ("OK, try something else that works") . . .
