For this season, I'd take Smith over Carr. For the subsequent seasons? Carr could change that answer pretty dramatically.

This place is notorious for it's ridiculous expectations of players who have not had sufficient time or experience to develop.

They can't ever look at the bigger picture in regards to various aspects of the individual or overall team outlook.

I'm talking about a huge majority of the people here.
