The Too Soon 2021 NFL Draft Thread

[Monkeydad]

We were a completely different team with Smith than Allen or Haskins.

I'm not sure we make that playoff run with any of our other QBs. Yes the defense was the main reason for success, but they can't do it alone.

And I'm not ready to declare Heinicke the starter.

I agree that the team played better when he was the starter, but let's not attribute that success to Alex's performance.

Among quarterbacks with at least one start in 2020, Smith was 33rd in passer rating, 34th in adjusted net yards per attempt, 43rd in touchdown rate, and 34th in interception rate.

He is the comeback player of the century for sure, but he can't be in pads on the WFT sideline next year in my opinion. If he is, then I will seriously have to question RR's judgement.
