Well the truth is that he helped Mahomes learn how to be a NFL QB.
Nothing wrong w/ that. KC fans know Smith sucks. An avg at best, game managing play-it-safe QB.
But there is no longer any reason to beat that dead horse anymore...let Redskins fans cry in their beers watching 3yd passes on 3rd n 8. Will not miss any of that shit..that I can tell you.
BUT...
He ended up being the perfect Ying to Mahomes' Yang. Practice/prep like Smith, let it rip down the field w/ Mahomes talent/arm confidence, and you got yourselves a pretty darn good QB.
I'll never question Smith's work ethic, leadership, or ability to properly prepare. Never thought Smith went into games looking lost like he was just flat out unprepared. The guy has been in this league long enough to have seen just about anything you could throw at the guy.
He was just too timid in the pocket and never took any chances, not until just last season. The great ones do take the chances and make big plays...that was Smith's greatest fault.
Unless you have a great defense, 85 Bears, 00 Ravens, 02 Bucs etc...QB's like Smith aren't going to win you shit.
