Quarterback Rank: #26
Overall: #170
Smith had another up and down season. He missed some time with a shoulder injury and lost his starting job to Troy Smith at one point as well. He finished the year with 14 touchdowns to 10 interceptions, which isn't too bad, but he had two interceptions four of 11 games. He still made a lot of mistakes and failed to consistently move the offense. Smith has been given many chances to start throughout his career, but hasn't done much with those chances. He has more interceptions (53) than touchdown passes (51) for his career. He has all the tools to be a starting quarterback, but can't seem to put it all together. Smith has a big arm, moves around the pocket pretty well and will make some plays running the ball. His accuracy has improved some, but still remains an issue, completing 57 percent of his passes for his career.

Smith is far from a sure thing because of his track record. He has ability and has been good at times for fantasy teams, but don't count on a sudden breakout season. He is more of a waiver-wire grab if he starts to show signs of life. There is potential with Smith, though, especially in a new offense that should produce better this season. |
