The game manager defense. We can go there.
You speak of QBs like Ben Rothlisberger and Joe Flacco who played on teams and won with a lot of help from their defenses. Flacco ironically won the Super Bowl with his worst defense in years, but that's besides the point. Those QBs do what it takes to win and that's all that matters is what you're saying. Fair enough.
You know what else those QBs do? Throw for 300-400 yards with multiple TDs. They win shootouts. They win grind games. They make clutch plays. And they do it in the playoffs. Their careers are marked all over with a victories against tough teams that run the statistical gambit. From running game-focused ground pound games to shoot outs. Playoffs or not. They're capable of taking whatever form is necessary for victory and making it work.
Don't even try comparing Alex Smith to those QBs. He's not at all what you think he is. He's far more Kyle Orton than he'll ever be Roethlisberger or Flacco.
