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.. |

The thing is and it's why I've never jumped on the "Andy Reid is an ass OC playcalling doofus" bangwagon, is that when our QB keeps his eyes up and stays calm, we continuously have guys open and in positions to make plays. For 3 quarters last night, Smith dropped his eyes and played terrified. |

Smith's worst games still yield about a .500 winning percentage. His bad still gives his teams a chance to win. There's value in that.

One thing that I think benefits Smith is the change in play calling (albeit subtle) when they trail. Reid abandons for the most part the ridiculous lateral throws that against a Denver only puts you in 2 and 10 or 3 and 8 situations that make it difficult to convert.
It isn't all Reid, but it would help if he didn't get so cute with the horizontal game. Quick screens with Tyreek (not Wilson) should be in the playbook, just not so obvious or repetitive. |

Green was just average, nothing to get excited about. I was too young for Dawson.
