Comparing Green to Smith is nearly impossible.
As much as Smith sucked this season (and the offensive line is definitely part of the reason), Trent Green wouldn't have lasted two games with this line. In terms of being "injury prone", Trent Green needed three full years to fully recover from an ACL tear. He would have been knocked into retirement behind the 2014 offensive line.
The line doesn't exonerate Smith's poor play and lack of TD's to WR's or his inability to thread the needle. But if the Reid and Dorsey want to avoid sitting home in January for the remainder of their tenure, they'll need to fix this offensive line as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, they'll both be looking for work by 2017.
Edit: Oh, and find some guys that can catch the freakin' ball.
