It's pretty remarkable, to be honest. It takes a hell of a set of tools to be able to take a team who's best pass catcher is an intermittently healthy Donnie Avery and be identically productive with a team that has Travis Kelce, Tyreke Hill, Jeremy Maclin and Chris Conley added to the mix. I'm serious - how the **** does he even manage that? Give the guy shit and he produces like an average to slightly below average quarterback. It stands to reason that giving him actual weapons will yield some sort of ROI... Nope - same goddamn guy. The ability to be nominally productive in his first year or two here with a bad line and zero weapons to speak of was pretty damn admirable. But the fact that he's pretty much just hugged that line of abject mediocrity while the team around him has gotten progressively better (to the point of legitimately dangerous)....well that's just bizarre.

Because he's no better when they're good so his middle of the road play for a shitty team actually looks pretty good.

Take a cue from young DJ here and embrace the reality that IS a useless Alex Smith. Then, righteously focus thine anger on the fatassed, sideline bobble-head which insisteth on playing this fool.

And remember, those stats with Maclin, Hill, and Kelce also include a better offensive line. I don't know if it's possible to give Alex enough shit for him to be better than he is. |

The guy simply doesn't produce any differently regardless of the talent around him. It makes no sense. The Browns should be hard up to get this guy. He's the perfect QB for a rebuild.
