I am not sure that the issue is exactly that we don't have the personnel to have a pass all-the time offense, but we don't have a passing system to do that.

This is my beef. The passing system just isn't very diverse.  It's mostly the same routes to the same people, doesn't include the RBs enough, WRs are rarely thrown to in the middle of the field, and the pocket isn't moved enough to change the launch point of the QB.  Costello has way too many passes batted down for being 6-5.  

When is the last time Stanford ended up passing out of a play you thought looked like a run?  When was the last time Stanford ran the ball when you thought it was looking like a pass?  The talent is there, obviously.  It just isn't being maximized, IMO.

Cal fans are whining about their offense stinking, but they don't have the personnel Stanford does, so they are complaining about recruiting.  Stanford is getting similar production to Cal on offense, with far more talent.  This is a real issue.
