Sure, but it's going to be a more calculated, controlled passing attack. It will be a BYU/LaVell Edwards west coast style of offense which will play to Smith's strengths. Reid was a graduate assistant under Edwards and it's where he learned the basis for his coaching. And while Smith doesn't have a Stafford arm, he's got enough and he's accurate. He'll get it to the playmakers on this team. And there are playmakers on this team.
Reid knows enough of Smith's game to make him his priority signing this offseason. Don't think that he's not going to make the adjustments necessary to make Smith successful in his system. He gave Donovan McNabb the adjustments to be an All-Pro who ends up horribad once he leaves Reid's system. Mike Vick has his best year ever with Reid and he's a completely different QB than McNabb. Smith is very smart and will easily adapt to what Reid has planned and Reid's understanding of the game and the QB position will enable him to get the most out of Smith.
This is going to be a much better team than what we all saw under the Peeholi and Herm years. Last year was as bad as it can get for an NFL football team. 2013 will be substantially better.
I'm over the disappointment of not using that #1 pick on a QB, as much as I wanted Geno. I'm objective enough to realize that they made some very good to superb coaching hirings and very solid free agent pickups at the necessary positions. This team will be able to compete with any team in the league from the get go.
