I have tried and tried to dwell on Smiths good attributes and not his weaknesses, and I fully realize that at least 50% of this is on Reid and his absolute insistence on NOT sticking with something thats working... be it the running game, or downfield passing

But this is year 4 for Smith (his longest run in any scheme), his mastery of the system should be complete

Not only that, but they have continually upgraded the players around him... this is, no question about it, the most talented group of players Smith has ever had at his disposal

Yet here we are, a quarter of the way through the season, and the offense has looked like total ASS a good solid 85% of that time... there is no justification for that, no excuses ring true anymore

Fact is, Smith has a very limited ceiling and we are now beating our heads against it... consistently beating elite teams with him isnt possible, his limitations are too easily exposed against the best

I am ****Officially**** at my Matt Cassel Moment of Truth with him

Even that 15% of the offense looking great was helped along by the Chargers who are awesome at choking.
