I'm actually happy to see the effort. This was Smith's best game since San Diego, IMO. It *appears* that he gained a lot of confidence in the 4th quarter and OT period in Denver, which is a great sign for the offense.

I thought he was better against Oakland and New Orleans than he was against SD (and I still think he was far better against TB than people will acknowledge).
For as much as 'steady' gets thrown around w/r/t to Smith's play, he's been oddly erratic this year. He's had 5 games where I thought he played really well - Oakland, NO, TB, Atlanta and NYJ. Houston, Pittsburgh and Carolina were hot garbage. Then in SD and Denver he was hot garbage for 85% of the game before suddenly playing really well at the end.
The guy's been extremely hot and cold this year. It's really strange for a guy that has been so even his performances for the 3 previous seasons.
