To stretch defenses you have to have a line that gives you time and WR's that can get open. I am not making excuses for Smith but most of the time he isn't the problem. It's just the rare times he does get protection of guys get open he seems to not see them.
He is sufficient enough to win a Super Bowl. He was a special teams play away from beating the Eli's right after he beat the Saints. Yes, he needs help in the way of a defense and running game but he isn't as bad as people are making him out to be.
