Redskins trade for Alex Smith

[Buffalo Bob]

Admitted I am new to being a Redskin fan as I adopted them as my favorite team when I escaped California to Virginia in 2011. I have followed the NFL since I was 5, and I liked many Redskin players, #44 was my favorite. When I lived in Cali I was a 49er fan for 40 years .

That being said I know all about Alex Smith, the guy that even after posting a 100 QB rating for a half season lost his job to Colin Kaepernick. Alex Smith the person is a great teammate and human being, but as an NFL QB he is nothing but a better version of Trent Dilfer. He is the quintessential game manager. I don't care about his stats, watch him play. Some guys are better than what the box score shows, others are worse. Smith is the later. He is extremely risk averse, even when caution should be thrown to the wind.

I don't understand the overwhelming joy most of you have over acquiring Smith. Next season he will have all of you pulling your hair out. With all the holes the Redskins have to plug with Smith the Redskins will be lucky to win 6 games. The benefit will be all of the 10 losses will be close, but they will be losses none the less.
