Him liking what he sees on tape isnt a glowing endorsement either. He easily could have gone into specifics on what he liked and why. You know on how Smith keeps his poise under pressure, accuracy, arm strength etc etc. All we got was tough dillo skin and how hes been treated. You also forgot to google paying 5 mill to start too. Where did that# come from? Seems youre assuming some things and might have made up another. Just sayin
Hilarious way to try and save face. That's a great squirm-job there after I shot down both your attempts with linkage! Here's another one.... I didn't just pull a number outta thin air.

Smith has a standing one-year contract – believed to be worth up to $5 million – on the table when the lockout ends and free agency begins.

Squirm job? Not at all only wanted definates not insults. Which none of your links provided and proves that youre going on assumptions. We all read the same articles you know. Which makes this s**t offseason and this thread so much fun.
You assume Alex will start because JH expects him to. Not because JH has said Alex will start and thats something that you ignore. He only likes Smiths tape didnt say what and why. He had the chance to explain but left it at like.
You assume because JH likes Smith tape he will start and not be a back up. His contract was only
believed to be up to 5 mill on a 1 year deal. Again your assuming its 5 million which it could be anything up to that number. No one knows what it will be or for how much yet. As it looked when it was offered n refused thats back up money.
JH has only gone so far as saying that Smith has played in the NFL, won in the NFL and he expects and would bet on Smith starting. Same could about David Carr and JH likes his tape too. Theres nothing but a betting chance for Smith and thats how it should be. Nothing should be handed to a guy who was as much a problem as Sing last year.
