But you'd be dead wrong, Smith, at this point in his career, isn't going to make most of the dumb mistakes all of those guys consistently make.

Wow to the first part, and thank you for proving my point on the bolded part.

Yeah, its a QB driven league... but a couple of high round misses in a row is a big detriment to the team overall, as big as QB is these days they still don't play defense or run the ball etc.

Would drafting a QB and missing have been worse than drafting who we've drafted with Top 5 picks the last 5-6 years?
Nope.
You're not picking a QB every year. If you take a guy in R1, you're going to give him at least 3 years to show you something before you draft another to replace him. Your logic is faulty.

Could Kaep absorb a WCO playbook as quickly as Smith did? **** no he couldn't, don't even try to say it... bottom line is that Smith isn't "trash"... the fact that some of you guys can so readily discount a NINE GAME IMPROVEMENT, no matter the NFL teams played, tells me you aren't being objective.
Its just knee jerk ****ing city around here with some of you... WE LOST IN INDY SOOO BAD ITS ALL HIS FAULT... yet we wouldn't have even SNIFFED Indy without Smith.

Wouldn't have sniffed Indy without Smith, yet we won 9 of our 11 games with him playing like a below average QB.
Seriously, just stop. You're embarrassing yourself.
