No one cares if you think he should have been dominant in his first game. That's meaningless. Completely meaningless.
What matters is the long-term success of the team.

That's true, until it gets to the point that he's playing poorly enough to get people hurt.
I agree that he's probably going to be fine - I don't think he's a bust and I don't think you give up on him.
But you can't keep leaving Smith exposed like this. You can't keep forcing balls short to Charles and exposing him to hits because Fisher can't give Smith time to throw.
If you can make short term sacrifices that favor the long term picture for the football team, you do it to a point. But I don't see how you can keep trotting a guy out there that's putting Smith and Charles' health on the line.
He'll get better, but he can't start right now. Not if he doesn't improve to at least below average in a hurry. This 'let him play through it' thing isn't working for me because to my eyes, he's gotten less effective every single week. |
