There is one and only one ideal? thing that could have done here.. and he didn't.
His best bet would have been to take one left step forward and risk the pass in to Ware. My guess is, he felt it wasn't worth the risk.. something that people hate him for.. but it can be one of those hidden positives VS a huge negative in a close game.
This is where hindsight rears its ugly head.. and Smith would concede he should have taken a few more risks. He got spoiled and used to winning most close games by this hidden positive VS huge negative mentality and approach.
It's the other big reason (1A is health) that makes me PERFECTLY OKAY with the team moving on from him soon. He's just not willing to break out of this mentality and cautious approach enough. So now, the Chiefs can sink faster or swim further with Mahomes in the near future.
I still contend that there wasn't whole lot of good from the options on that particular play. That to simple, biased people.. that play pic is a great example of twisting things to fit an agenda.
