The OC I Want

[Captain Lemming]

What I've been most impressed with is the qb play. Somehow Alex Smith has been out playing Ben this year.

Dude is the Rodney Dangerfield of QBs.

Always thought the Nines were stupid to go with Cap over him. Might have got the ring if they kept him.

Wait, they went to a Championship game and came within a few inches of a SB ring with Kap.

Alwx Smith finally has a decent start to a season and folks want to crown him?

Slow down. Lol

Alex Smith benefited most from playing under Harbaugh. Harbaugh made him check down king ("you don't need to win games, just don't LOSE them for us"), then, benched him because he didn't have enough big plays like Kaep... For several seasons, he became an ultra conservative QB. THEN, KC decided they wanted a gun-slinger and drafted one. Pretty sure that made Alex take a few more looks downfield.

I just have a feeling we are going to see Smith revert back to who he is as the season progresses.

As far as OCs go, I always liked Hue Jackson. If the Steelers offense starts playing like they should, it would not be shocking to see Haley considered for openings. If the Browns continue losing, it would not be shocking to see Jackson looking for a job in the offseason.

Jackson got some leash length this time around. Probably not going anywhere for at least another season after this.

Alex Smith is a check down king... and now he has a few more weapons to stretch the field.

I still have no faith in Alex Smith once the pressure is on but sadly, plenty of QB's are outplaying Ben right now.

Exactly. When the pressure is on , Smith will be the same Smith hes' been for the last decade.

Hunt, Gurley, Fournette, Cook, Elliot, etc are exactly why Bell shouldn't be and won't be a Steeler after next season (franchise him once more).

Yes, I know Bell might be the better receiver compared to Fournette and Gurley but he's not worth close to the money he's asking for. Ive seen enough of Hunt to say, he might be better than Bell is already.

Bell is a damn good football player but somebody needs to give him a reality check regarding his self-proclaimed net worth.
