When I see him play I see a deer in the headlights look at all times. Granted that's limited playing time but he does have 2 starts under his belt and is an upperclassman that's been in the system for 4 years. Smith may start game 1 but that's it. If he starts more or all year then my liver is in for a world of hurt in 2018.

Not true. Smith has 4 career starts and has played the majority of 2 other games too. He has been about equally not good in all (although 2015 against EMU in his first game after Allen went down in the 1st QTR was maybe the worst QB performance I’ve ever witnessed).

Those that thought he was a D1 player this year (after seeing him in 2015) were lying to themselves or just don’t know football. He is a great competitor but plain and simple he does not have near the talent necessary to compete at this level in this offense.

I would be shocked if he is higher than QB3 next year. Had he had the athleticism to move positions (ala Austin Fort), he would not have been listed as a QB for the Pokes the past two years.

He played very soft, definitely not the tough mentally of Josh Allen. Unless he can develop a new attitude this spring I would pursue a transfer. Keller Chryst or Perhaps the Alabama QB that was benched at half time of the BCS Championship. There’s got to be a QB out there that would want to blossom under the guidance of Coach Bohl. Specially after the success of Allen and Wentz. The only question is how do you recruit a transfer?
