... and there's the rub. Tons of times, people are angry with Smith for pulling the ball down and eating the sack. This is the second INT (if remembering right) that resulted from him about to get lit up, and standing in to deliver at the last moment anyway.
It can be a damned if u do or don't situation. Just as a QB electing to not stand in there and run instead, only to get stuffed down. Sometimes, the split decision gets you a very positive run yard result. Other times, fingers point to the QB for bailing out instead of standing in for a throw.
Split second decisions.
