I don't know if Smith needs confidence, but I do know that Cassel just flat out sucks at throwing the football. He's bad at throwing passes with a football. It's that simple.
Smith has made throws that Cassel could never dream of. That doesn't mean he'll do it again or consistently, but at least the ability is in there somewhere. I hold out zero hope for Smith, but I won't be shocked if he puts together 5 highly productive years.
Not being surprised ≠ expecting.
