Are the two things supposed to be related? Smith isn't a read-option QB. I suppose he is athletic enough to run some of that type of offense, but he really isn't adept at running it.

Didn't Culpepper run a 4.52 forty? If so, that is faster than what Smith did. Culpepper was also 6'-4" and over 250 lbs, so he isn't built like Geno. I don't think that is a good comparison.
