I started to think the same bro but then you have to remember Davis was our best downfield target last year until the suspension. Kyle simply hasn't "featured" Davis much this year, which is bizarre. With Garcon out Davis (once again) is the only guy who can break some tackles and go for extra yardage in all the underneath routes Kyle features.
And the other thing I noticed in the Rams game was how many pass plays had WR routes (and therefor defenders) bunched up in pockets downfield. Kyle is shrinking the field rather than stretching it in a lot of pass plays. I'm real curious to look back again and count em on the NFLN replay. But the point is why make things more difficult for your rookie QB (who honestly does struggle with accuracy from time to time) by forcing him to throw into extremely tight coverage because you have routes that bring the WRs and defenders to the same (small) area on the field. This is what happened on every throw where a defender nearly intercepted Griffin.
