B.

I'll get blistered for this, but he doesn't really run that offense. He freelances and makes plays. The timing just isn't as crisp.

Now that's gonna eventually be an invaluable plan B for him, but it needs to be plan B and right now it isn't. He's much more sped up back there and it's even more obvious when he's coming in after Smith instead of Bray.

Smith was better than him tonight because - duh. But I don't think you grade on a curve. The Escobar throw was as exciting a QB play as we've seen here since Montana, but if you're giving him an A grade, where else is there for him to go? He can be better. He WILL be better. That first throw can't happen and in a game where it does, that's not an A game.

This wasn't an A job, IMO. Smith's was. Damn exciting performance and I think we'll see him improve every time he's on the field, but there's room for growth in his timing and overall grasp of the offense.
