Gore is prone to fumbling and picking up less than three yards a carry when we don't go into the Shotgun.
I would rather have Smith in the Shotgun right now and hit players like Davis and Crabtree than continue to hand the ball off to Gore and get nothing every other play. Right now Gore looks completely washed up running the ball.
This. People seem to ignore that Gore looks TERRIBLE right now in the "bell-cow" Offense. It's not really advantageous to anyone right now.
