Which statistic inspires more confidence in actually determining quality?

Statistics is as much about history as it is about recency. What's most important is that his strong performances have come recently and they were consistently stronger than the Smith we're used to.
Smith started out with 9 overrated games. And then closed the season with 7 games that were actually very strong. That's a trend. He could easily go back to his conservative ways. But it's given at least some hope.
