As for smart, tell why a smart QB leaves 7 to 11 seconds on the playclock when the team is trying to burn clock?

The idea that Smith is smart is a myth.

He is simply to pull the trigger when there are plays to be made, and he leaves far too many plays on the field.

It's great that the Redskins will be able to open up the playbook, then get to watch as Smith pulls the ball down under false pressure and run while leaving a big play down the field that Cousins would have made.

As for Casserly, he's an idiot.

Alex threw it deep at a very efficient rate to Hill and Kelce.
From what I saw the other day on PFF in a clean pocket he was #1 in the NFL
Turnover rate it's not even close, Alex is far better than Kirk.

There are definitely a few patterns that Smith can't throw effectively but from following the news it sounds like Gruden's playbook (quite similar to Andy's) has been hampered by Cousins's inability to run options/RPO. So much that players have been praising the variety of plays they can actually put on the field now.
