“I would say sometimes there are things that don’t show up on the stat sheet and you have to find it to say – man this guy is playing at a high level,” Quinn explained of scouting Smith. “It’s the decision-making, it’s creating a scramble to go for a first down and it’s putting the ball in the correct spot. When I watch him play we are all so impressed by his ability to make the right decision, against the right coverage.
“That’s a real thing and not everybody has that awareness and you have to have experience to do that and he does. I recognize that some people measure everything only on stats, but that eight-win stat is pretty strong too. We’re a believer in him and what he’s capable of doing and how he is a big part of their offense
