Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

About the Smith bashing

I am mildly amused that everyone here thinks if Smith were gone the offensive result would be any different.

Who here seriously believes Smith is operating in a bubble. Do we really think Peterman has no idea what is happening on the offensive side of the ball?

I can hear the conversation:

Peterman: I think you need to get Ross the ball more.
Smith: Fuck off.
Peterman: OK, what do you think about running Miles in an option look.
Smith: I thought I told you to fuck off.
Peterman: Yeah ... How 'bou...
Smith: Fuck off asshole, I mean it.

    Peterman is just as responsible for the design of the offense as Smith. He's not responsible for individual play calls though. That's where the decision making of the OC comes into question. I think it would be easy to go back and pick out 1-3 series in every game where the play calls were real head scratchers.

    If I understand you properly Smith is then completely uncoachable.

    Or

    Peterman isn't pointing out the errors in play calling.

    Peterman chose Smith. Enough said on that.
    Peterman chose Smith, but he didn't choose Miles, Lindquist, or Williams.

    If you cant win with the players you have then you aren't going to win with the players you might hypothetically have in 3 years

    Nobody here wants Ross going to the NFL after just 3 years. It just makes sense not to give him too many throws.

    If you think that reasoning is going to stop me from calling for the defenestration of Jon Smith, then you're completely fucking wrong. So there's that.

    Using reason is not your strong suit, so I would not expect it.

    I bash Smith for the simple reason that the offense sucks and he didn't have the resume for the job. If the offense does good, I will be his biggest fan.
