One problem with Smith that gets overlooked, is that he is only functional out of the shotgun. He was complete garbage in the first half of most games until Raye opened it up. He'll make a play action completion occasionally but for the most part he still looks lost taking snaps under center.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Alex's QB rating from behind center just as good or better than when he was in shotgun?

Shotgun: 138/229 60.3% for 1,346 yards 10 TD 6 INT 80.4 rating (5.88 YPA)
Under Center: 87/143 60.8% for 1004 yards 8 TDs 6 INTs 83.2 rating (7.02 YPA)

So people really need to drop it.
