I think you knew exactly what that something was.

Kilmer, 15
Kaepernick, 13

Key distinction is QB and Chiefs history, not 49ers or Washington. He didn’t play long enough in Washington to get anywhere close to Cousins or Thiesmann in total rushing TDs and several games were after his injury. Incidentally, this year, I wasn’t expecting but hoping Smith would play. My hopes were (from low to high) were:

1. Be on the roster.
2. Be active on game day (only 46 or so of the 53 players can be on the active game day roster).
3. Play a snap, even if it’s a handoff or kneel down in a blowout.
4. Play meaningful snaps, even if few.
5. Throw a touchdown pass.
6. Start a game.
7. Finish that game.
8. Win a game.
9. Rushing TD.
10. Win many games.
11. Make the playoffs.
12. Play beyond 2020-21.
13. Win in the playoffs.
14. Win the Super Bowl.
15. Win SB against the Chiefs (because they are the best in their conference, only team Smith hasn’t beaten as a Niner or Washington QB).

He got 10 of those. I really wanted #9, though he did get a first down by running once, I think. I hoped for #12 when he didn’t get 13-15. Honestly, I would still want number 12 if you got one of those, but it would obviously be better to retire with one of them than without. He didn’t play in the playoffs, so he couldn’t get 13-15.

I know, I just wanted to see what totals of rushing TDs other QBs from other franchises, that Smith played for, also had.

How come no one tackled him?

What was that supposed to be, when he flapped his arms?

How come he didn't have wi fi issues, or accidentally download a virus?

How come he didn't jump or fall into the swimming pool? How can they show a swimming pool, and not have someone jump or fall in?

Tackle - He was the one obsessed, not them, I suppose.

Flapping - arm signals before the snap to signal to teammates which play to choose. In the huddle, they often give multiple options. That’s why there are many “miscommunication“ interceptions.

Wifi - Not football related.

Swimming pool - I thought they were going to have him fall in or be bumped by the mascot into the pool.

See! You also thought there should have been a better gag with the swimming pool.

They could have had him trying to go to Broncos.com, but accidentally download a virus.

Or maybe accidentally uploading a virus to that server.

Inside the friendship Lamar Jackson and Donovan Mitchell formed as Louisville Cardinals

Not long after meeting, in the summer of 2015, Jackson and Mitchell engaged in an impromptu, late-night dunk session -- and have been lobbing each other messages of support ever since.
