This is a lazy take. I never said anything like this. Put the two QB's in a vacuum and Brees is the better QB. But one thing Smith is better at in my opinion is mobility. How many of those sacks that Brees took would Smith have escaped from? How many more sacks would Brees have took if playing behind Smith's line? Also, you guys are always bitching about the fact that Smith is just a dink and dunk QB. So a mobile QB, who most would credit his legs as a strength, who also passes the ball 80+% of the time within the first second to 2 seconds from the snap still gets crushed for a league high 44 times in 2014? In my opinion, Brees would not be able to operate in that situation. I don't really think any QB could. Russell Wilson may be the best candidate for that line.
Anyway... I still think Smith and a fixed line > than Brees and Chiefs 2014 line. Good night all.
