Wrong
The best way i can put it is that he did what was expected of him vs that team. I'll give him credit but like i said, it doesn't change my opinion.
It's not hate. It's reality. People are romanticizing how good he was. During his best 5 years, while in KC, his statistical averages were 3,521 yards 20.4 TDs 6.6 ints 65.1% completion 7.22 yards per attempt. And this is factoring in the one year his numbers exploded. Was he the best game manager? Probably.
Ummm no they didn't. His last two years in San Fran he had 3,144 yards 17 TDs and 5 ints while completing 61.3% of his passes (which was far and away his best season in SF). His last year he started 9 games (over half the season) and had 1,737 yards 13 TDs to 5 ints but did hit his highest mark of 70.2% completions
Huh? They were similar to his good season in KC. Honestly, this minor point isn't worth the effort. Carry on
He did not have considerably more yards. He had 1 games worth of passes more yards. Again, Mitch missed 2 games. If you wanna say Alex only averaged 15 game seasons, fine, I'll give that to you. But that one extra game puts Mitch there. So, Smith, at best was marginally better than a 2nd year Trubisky in his 9th - 14th seasons.
No, you're cherry picking. You asked why I'm down on Smith. I said I'm not down on Smith, he just wasn't that good. He was a great game manager. Then I showed you his statistical averages from just his best seasons while he was in KC. Those averages are what I'm referring to. Not the one anomaly year Smith had.
he did a good job? er, no he didn't. he managed what the Defense gave him. plain and simple. for you to state he did a good job is just wrong in so many ways. he had one drive he scored on as a normal turnover from the other team. One, seven points!!!! The D got the first seven, Then came the one drive, and then the D gave him a short field to make it twenty one. With one more turnover drive. And following the goal line interception, nagy took his throwing rights away. Funny, someone doing good doesn't have throwing rights stopped. Fk, again, this isn't Mitch's fault, he simply isn't a second round pick. Plain and simple. Please stop trying to fit him into an elite QB model. He isn't that guy. Nagy restricting his throws to dinks and dunking, is confirmation of that.
He literally did what he was supposed to in order to win the game and he "er, no he didn't" do a good job? Also pretending he "only threw dinks and dunks" when in reality he made the plays he needed to including down field throws. Then the guy says " I have zero problem giving him credit where it's due while not forgetting his faults like only leading the offense to 3 points at home like you fairly point out. And also not trusting him to do a good job against better defenses. " to which you respond with "Please stop trying to fit him into an elite QB model."
I was using OB's terminology on dinks and dunks, your beef is with him, he thought Trubisky didn't play well at all. And the dinks and dunks are evidence the coach doesn't trust his skills. from OB yesterday on 720 AM in the afternoon, limiting his play . I give two shits your opinion, a former Bear brings more credence. the five turnovers were useless right, it was all trubisky for you. too fking funny.
one drive that he started on his own for a score. One. so, no, he wasn't good. And I gave him credit for the one throw to Gabriel that was reversed. but please, he did what the coaches gave him. dinks and dunks most of the game, limiting the field to his talent.
so when it starts on the opposition 20 yard line, that's the same as starting on your own five and driving the distance? LOL. truly. People gave me shit about cutler, and look at you.
