You can say that Green was exposed when he was forced to pass, but if you look at his ability to lead 4th quarter drives, that criticism doesn't hold up.

I can say that I'm an elite driver because I've never gotten in a wreck, but if I've never gotten on an interstate and take back streets everywhere while never going above 30, how good am I? I've avoided the potential of a wreck, but I can't get you to the destination before the doors close.

The most deceptive part of Smith is that you can look at his stats and claim that he's an average or above average QB, but to me that's like looking at Cassel's inflated 2010 TD stats and saying he's a gunslinger when the reality is everyone sold out to stop the run and he tossed a bunch of 1 yard PA TDs to Bowe.

Smith is a stat whore just like Peyton Manning. The only difference is that his stats are INTs and completion percentage rather than things that matter, like yards and touchdowns.

Nailed it.
