Why didn't we work Brad Smith......

Michael Vick Lite. Without the cannon for an arm. Terrible idea.

 

He is special teams player--- not a starting QB.

 

His arm is fine, and I have the film from preseason 06' to prove it. It's his decision making that is the problem, and what a problem it is. If Ben Roethlisberger holds on to the ball too long, then Brad Smith is waiting for Jesus to come back when he is under center.

Edit - Sorry, it is 07' preseason.

 

I don't know if he's a QB first...until this past season, he had more career rushing yards than any other QB in college football. That sounds kind of like a QB who likes to run first.

 

the QB position is not a plug and play position like Linebacker.

please commit that to memory.

 

I don't even like him in the Offense period! let alone the QB.

 

We did, 2 or 3 years ago and it ended there.

 

Ran for over 4,000, passed for over 8,000. He was a great college QB.

 

We should work him at QB – then there would be one more thing we could say he was inept at.

 

Yeah he was a great college QB. He is great on special teams. Maybe Rex will be able to utilize him better than Mangini did.

 

I guess the entire league was wrong about Brad Smith, and it's time we consider going with a quarterback who can run fast and throw far but can't hit the broadside of a barn.

Accuracy is not the issue with Brad Smith. Swing and a miss.

 

Brad is fun to watch. Maybe the Jets will have a look at him at the QB spot in pre-season. Anything's possible!

 

he was a good college qb in a system not unlike the one ran by vince young in college. hows that been working out for vince in the pros?

 

I do think it is dumb that we never let him throw any passes when he was in the wildcat.

 

We should cut him so he can end up in cleveland

 

What kind of system did Brad Smith play in College? I highly doubt it was a Pro-Offense
