Kyle Smith's situation is puzzling though, as I'd have thought he'd have been turfed out a while back if he and RR were not on the same page. Only scenario I cans see is that RR didn't think he had the credentials to be a GM and that's kind of validated by his sideways move to Atlanta.

I like we haven't made a crazy move at QB; I'd have been happy with Stafford but not for the stupid price the Rams went with. I'm more and more leaning towards going with Heinicke/Allen battling for starter (assuming Alex Smith retires/is cut), and draft a guys after round 1 that has potential but need development. Allen has the potential to keep us in contention if he has more weapons around him while a rookie shows what he can learn and then do later. Thinking about it, RR seems to trust Allen, so unless we can swing a palatable deal for Watson, I don't see a (valid) trade target or FA now with enough upside to go for.

It's now the dead zone of the offseason where nothing really happens until around mid March, so I'm quite happy if we stay out of the news for the next 3-4 weeks.

I doubt that Kyle Smith's exit had much to do with RR at all. I think he was as good as gone from the moment he told Dan Snyder in the crowded draft room that he (Snyder) didn't know jack shit about football when Snyder ordered that DH be drafted in the first round. From then on, he had zero chance of becoming the GM of the WFT, even if RR wanted him.
