I've interpreted (perhaps wrongly so?) a few people as saying the fact that he wasn't given an extension is a sign that they're having a wait and see approach with him, and I just don't believe that's the case. He's their guy moving forward, I don't think there's any question about that.

I think he's their guy, if he produces. The people saying, MC trade=AS trade, must feel that Smith will be "the guy" no matter what he does. I don't feel that way at all. I believe, if after a few mediocre years the Chief are treading water, they'll move on from Smith.
