I would never consider Smith a pussy.
Pussies don't get the living shit kicked out of themselves to the point of rupturing internal organs and keep going back out.
I think that Smith has become detrimental to himself and the team in that he knows that there is a fine line being walked in terms of game time decisions on both sides of the ball that require him to not make any mistakes.
This leads to overly conservative play which in and of itself leads to mistakes. He's holding onto the ball too long which leads to protection issues that aren't necessarily the offensive lines fault. He's regularly throwing behind receivers because he's tying to make sure that they are in the right route. (Did this numerous times yesterday.)
They need to sit him. Give him a couple of games to refocus and get his head back together and see what they have in Daniel and Murray. Smith is an intelligent player with good mechanics and game understanding who would be a good tutor/mentor to a rookie for the next year or two.
But they have to really focus on making that a real thing right now. Dorsey's army of scouts should be told right now to comb through potential QB players for the next two drafts getting as much information and film on them as possible. Start some deep, hard work on the position immediately.
So, in a nutshell, yes, I'd be willing to tolerate Smith at QB for the next two seasons if the team were showing that they were putting in the necessary work to get a guy in who would be the QBOTF in the next two drafts.
