Week 17: Three Game Haikus

Related Topics: Alex Smith, Completion

so since I'm home alone (like that?) sick and quarantined, decided to kill a lil time.

Pre-Harb--Comp%--55%--QBrating--67.00--(5 seasons)
Harbs------Comp%--65%--QBrating--138.45-(2 seasons)
Reid--------Comp%--65%--QBrating--94.76--(5 seasons)

(Fill in chump)-Comp-62%--QBrating--87.6--(9 seasons)
------------------------------

Analysis. Look at those pre-Harbs stats. Terrible! (Smith's QB rating rook yr was 40!) His comp% jumped almost 10% in that 1st yr alone under competent tutelage. His QB rating more than doubled.

Now, that is quite a jump, but nevertheless, it illustrates what a diff coach can squeeze out of a "bust" or "meh" QB.

Alex Smith leveled off a bit in KC, but still posted solid numbers that reflect more what Dalton has done over all in that shit show which is the Bengals.
