Maybe the rookie we draft comes right in and steals his spot preseason. Maybe he looks insanely raw and needs time to develop. We don't know that. Throwing a rookie QB into the fire is generally risky, and having Smith as a buffer helps us make the decision easier. We don't want to hurt the new QBs development by playing him too early.
