But, how many QB's could do anything last night? He was pressured immediately every play, and when he wasn't, he made plays.
When Bowe is your #1, you need A LOT of time to throw. Alex has 2-3 seconds.

Why don't teams blitz QB's like Manning and Brady ? Because those guys can consistently find an open hot receiver and turn a short pass into a huge gain.
Now, I realize Smith isn't in the same class as those guys. But, to some on this board, he's in the next tier. With that in mind, how often does Smith hit a hot receiver on a blitz? Make a team pay for putting 8 or 9 in the box? Even a guy like Hoyer can do it once in a while. When does Smith make any defense respect the passing game?
