Using wins and losses a a stat for or against a qb isn't really justifiable in the nfl. Smith was a better qb in the second half of the season, and we lost more games.
It's not usually ok to say on cp, because it was said for cassel, but maybe smith just does need a few more weapons. Obviously he's not ever gonna be manning, but I don't see any reason not to put him in the same class as Eli or flacco.
Maybe Djln and urban Meyer were right. Once he becomes ultimately confident and comfortable in a system, he'll take off. The more reps he got in Reid's offense, the better he got.
Hell, maybe it's a perfect marriage. Maybe he is e perfect fit for Reid's offense and Reid is he perfect coach for smith.
If that's the case, I don't see any reason to not sign him to a deal, while we continue to look for the elite guy. We've seen smith is good enough to win when it counts, and actually seems to be at his best when the chips are down. I'm pretty excited about him going forward at this point.
