Too bad this is all just a pipe dream. We'll beat the Lions and give this worthless FO hope that we're on the right track. Then it's on to 4-5 wins and not knowing what we have in Murray or anybody else.

I used to back Smith. I can no longer do that. I won't say that "if we lose to the Lions he need to sit", however, I will say that if we lose to the Lions and he plays like he did at the end of the end of the Vikings game then his tenure here needs to be finished. Losing is a team effort. I would rather he be benched for his individual play. I also do not want to see this team draft a QB in round 1 next season to sit behind Smith. If we draft a QB then Murray needs to be the starter and Smith is on the bench permanently. I would just cut him and take the salary cap hit. We will take the hit either way. So start Murray and see what you have while the rookie sits.
