It's a pussy move IMO to discredit any way he moves the ball.

Rushing yards is a statistical category for RBs not for QBs. It is not an accurate measure of what a QB is doing. QB is all about the passing yards. Sure there are a few QBs that get the occasional paly for them to run actually called but that is not the case most of the time. I doubt it is ever the case for Smith. A QB is suppose to throw or hand it off other than in times when the play breaks down. His rushing yardage shows that he has enough speed to actual save a broken play but he is not being called on to haul the rock.
I find it to be disingenuous to lump them all together knowing that most people would assume those were passing yards solely based on the way you stated those numbers.
