I know there is a lot of Smith talk but I would love to get your serious take on what can actually be done with him. He was one of the worst players on the field again last night. The Giants game was the only good one he has had dating back to mid season last year. I don’t think he is limited physically. Personally I think he prefers to avoid direct contact, shows poor effort and clearly does little work in the film room.
If you were GM:
1. Would you cut him, trade him, bench him?
2. If you trade him what do you seriously think his trade value is?
I would trade him. I think someone would try to fix him. I think he gets you a 5 or a 6.
Thanks for your views.
Definitely isn't physical. It goes back to his time at ND before the injury.
