ALEX SMITH and moving forward.

Alex Smith was a good pick-up, I said it day 1 and still stick to it. He was the best option out there

QBR is 24th in the league...just a smidge behind Blake Bortles and Dak Prescott

Not a good first year impression (still in front of Eli, star for that)

We'll see how Colt does these last 6 games. But if Colt plays really well, and clearly plays better than Smith, it's going to make the trade look even worse than it already does.

Where the Redskins really misjudged the situation is they didn't have the Chiefs talent on offense. Smith just isn't good enough to play with the average guys that we have and put points up and move the offense. Cousins stalled out in the red zone but at least he moved the offense for the most part. Smith can't and really didn't unless AP was running the ball. He needs elite playmakers and a running game where Cousins didn't. That is the difference in the two.

The big difference has been RZ scoring, Kirk sucked at it because after his first read down there he would just eat the sack or throw it away. Alex moves around better and gets guys open. Before Sunday he had 9td and 0ints in the RZ. Very good.

Forget the stats, we are 6-3, if due to a horrific injury AS' tenure is done, then I have respect for him and the trade. We will never know how it might have played out through the season, and if we ended 9-7 looking at the playoffs with Smith as the yearlong starter, then it would have been a failed trade.

But he did exactly what everyone said he would do (except this past Sunday) which was not make mistakes, play for the time of possession/game manager wins and keep the team looking forward. No other qb we could have signed would have done that.

All that said, if Colt does show he can run the offense effectively, and we go 5-2 or better, then that also will call the trade into question, because the team has to know exactly who Colt is after all these years. And we could have drafted a qb talent in the 3rd without raising eyebrows.

Watching the injury on film , Watt had to look away.

Can’t wait until we can bad mouth Smith as he leaves town in 3-4 years lol

Barring a SB win you just know it’s going to happen

Yup....I saw it every day on social media....Smith getting heavily criticized for his style of play....but the the thing is we knew he wasn't Dan Marino when we traded for him...so there should be no surprise at all when he executes his conservative style of quarterbacking...

Lol apologizing for what...colt and Alex Smith aren’t the answer at qb.

Alex Smith trade and extention will haunt this team.

Better use one of the first couple draft picks for a qb

Remember, colts here because of jay love for the guy. Instead of developing a young qb, jay wanted colt...not good
