Well then, Green's numbers were put up behind one of the best offensive lines of the last several decades in the NFL and one of the best rushing offenses at least of its own time. No handicapping there?
Green gets credit for all that offense's accomplishments, but Smith can't get credit for his high level of play the last two seasons because his team was so formidable on the ground as to make those numbers meaningless?
And Smith similarly can't get credit for his team being two special teams gaffes away from the Super Bowl, because he had so much talent around him?
Green was not any more capable of a downfield passer than Smith is. They're cut from the same cloth.
