Alex Smith is a solid QB, sorry haters. Bucs win 5th game in a row.
Despite the common thought here that Alex Smith held down the team Sunday, Smith's overall production to the team yesterday graded out very positive in 3 rankings:
Smith: QBR 94.1, QB rating 99, PFF 71.9 Winston: QBR 83.6, QB rating 97, PFF 50.7 ![]() https://www.profootballfocus.com/pro...-for-bucs-win/ "Smith gained positive expected points (EPA) on 77 percent of his plays on Sunday, the second-highest rate for a QB in a game this season (Dak Prescott, 83 percent versus Chicago in Week 3). Put simply, more than three-fourths of his plays contributed to the team’s scoring margin, given the context and situation." - http://www.espn.com/blog/statsinfo/p...s-excels-again This is why we should use our brains instead of repeating the garbage fed to us by Mellinger and Teicher. If Smith only had 34 plays yesterday to do something with the ball and earns both a rushing and passing TD, a FG, to 1 INT (first red zone interception since 2013) and completes an outstanding 77% of passes ... we should probably focus on the real problem yesterday: The Defense. Who didn't show up and allowed Winston/Martin to hold the ball for 35 minutes, earn 24 first downs, and convert 68% of 3rd downs (league average is 40%). Against the Bucs... Alex Smith: 1 INT, 99 QB rating Philip Rivers: 2 INTs, 80 QB rating Russell Wilson: 2 INTs, 39 QB rating Drew Brees: 3 INTs, 49 QB rating Last edited by TigeRRUppeRRcut; 12-11-2016 at 09:10 PM.. |

Which is more likely: Defenses let you complete deep passes over the middle and shorter passes to the flat or Alex Smith looks at the camera and says "That's my secret, I'm always angry!" and just face-rapes a good defense?...

wrong. Denver didn't send three passers only throughout the finals drives, did hey? they are a top 3 passing defense. Give credit where it's due for once.

because you can't acknowledge the offensive play calling changed as well. Did Alex make good throws or not. You act like it's easy to have a come back drive.. give me a break already.

But even in a base you don't give up the home run in the 4th or OT. I've given Alex credit plenty of times. At times he's had games I didn't think he was capable of but he pulled them off. This season, he's not playing good, as a whole. Period...

I agree he's not playing great ball.. but I strongly believe it's the play calling that is leading in Alex not having rhythm in the passing game. Look at how many times andy has called a ridiculous bubble/trick play netting bad yardage and setting up Alex to fail.. too many third and longs. I truly believe its more play calling.. Alex is sucking but andy needs more blame

I know. I'm actually shocked Philly fans aren't here laughing at us like Jets fans did with Herm...

You can't count on a return by Berry every week...you can't count on a strip by Peters every week...you can't count on Hill going full-on Gale Sayers every week...that's great when you can get it, but we are fast using up all our special mojo on Sept-Nov...at some point, the offense will have to move the ball consistently. Period. That is on the coach and QB. Make no mistake; KC will have to score points on offense to beat Atlanta.

It may take a team by surprise if they AREN'T ALWAYS KEYING ON THE STUPID ****ING SCREEN. I've always held the belief that Alex Smith is an extension of his coach on the field. When Harbaugh was his coach, he was more agressive. With Reid, he's inconsistent. Maybe it's on Reid...but Smith has not looked good this season, on the whole. Has the game passed Reid by?

A real OC will throw downfield and in the middle before the 4th qtr. That's not Reid's offensive identity, and remember...Reid is an offensive genius.
