Just wanted to say Thanks.
It really helps,now I won't be yelling at the Oline so hard lol
Yeah, they have five first round picks on their DL (Chase Young, Montez Sweat, Ryan Kerrigan, Daron Payne, and Jonathan Allen). Luckily for us, one of their top DTs (who wasn't a first round pick) is out with an injury (but Ioannidis is being replaced by Tim Settle, who is also pretty darn talented). They can really rush the passer.

You right about the details that we probably don’t know about him and about the expectations that we want from a 1st round pick.
But the problem remain the same imo, even if he’s struggling they should gave him a full season at least and then if he didn’t show any flashes during that season then you can talk about benching him.
And i agree also about the fact that asking a trade right now wouldn’t be a great look for him, but how can he prove something when they didn’t give him a « real » chance to do it ?
Compare to Burrow or Herbert, he’s in a bad situation with a bad front office.
So this is the thing that irritate me a little bit.

Okay my bad then, i mainly looked at the stats and the opinion of some Washington fans.
But like i said in my previous message, i think that he deserved at least a full season before being benched, even Josh Rosen had a full season with the Cardinals to prove his worth.
I think your perception of allowing a full season would be different if you were a coach. The coaches don't just care for the QB, but for the entire team and if the QB isn't giving them the best chance to win, even just in the coaching staff's estimation, they have to make that call.
Also players aren't stupid and neither are the front offices. Not holding players accountable who deserve it is a great way to lose your team and maybe even your job.

I agree, as a coach your main goal is clearly to see your team winning yes, and maybe i would have a different opinion if i was one.
But they wasn’t even in the position to be competitive this season with their lack of talent on the offense.
So why not letting him show what he can do for the moment and make a change at the end of the season if necessary ?
after what I saw Smith go through with his leg on that ESPN special..... If he takes one snap this year he should be the comeback player of the year. I have never seen a leg that messed up and I'm surprised he can even walk!! Hard to root against the guy like that.
Wouldn't surprise me to see Smith starting for the Football Team Formerly Known As the R-------s in the near future. He's an outstanding technical qb, just lacks the arm strength and mobility needed for a wide open offense like KC.
Assuming he's actually physically ok he's likely a better bet to win games right now than either Haskins or Allen. If they keep losing at some point the Football Team may have to make this move.
Wasn't Bridgewater's worse? As I recall, he was minutes from actually losing the leg base on how shredded it was.
That's very much true, but Smith nearly died from his. Yes, it was because of an infection, but he came quite close to dying.
