nothing ...
like i said ... jumping in not knowing what you guys are talking about
but if i recall ... smith was ready to be ditched 5 years ago
before Reed came along & salvaged what would have gone down as one of the most disappointing #1 pick in history
Actually Smith was having some success with Harbaugh until the concussion and Kaep exploiting an NFL that did not know how to defend the spread option until a year later. Not saying he was great because they also had Gore and a very good D. He was doing well before Andy and I agree that Andy has a gift with QBs.
The overall history of spread option QBs in the NFL is not that good. Remember, Smith was a spread option QB under Meyer. Mahomes clearly has the physical skills, now it is about getting them to translate into NFL skills. Jeff George had a great arm.
