If he improves throughout the season and lowers his ranking to number 10, we will be in a better place during the second half of the year.


Any thoughts on were he should be ranked?

I would still have him in the top 10, for one main reason - he doesn't make blunders. He may not be the flashiest, but with a few more games with these receivers he will be one of the "winningest"

Looking at QB rating he is #18th, but 7 of the 17 ahead of him have 5 or more than turnovers, and another 6 have 3 or more turnovers. In terms of touchdowns, his number is comparatively low, 6 versus double digits for most qb's, and if that number doesn't pick up over the next 4 weeks, then I will re-evaluate it.

Finally stats alone aren't everything, wins and contribution to the win, or loss, are sometimes judgement calls, and best I can tell Smith has contributed to our wins with important 3rd down completions, and not had any boneheaded/lack of awareness plays that led considerably to the other team's winning.
