Alex Smith: Ron Rivera 'Absolutely Driving the Bus Over' Carson Wentz With QB Remarks

Former Washington Commanders quarterback Alex Smith responded to head coach Ron Rivera after he blamed Carson Wentz for the team's 1-4 start.

"Quarterback," Rivera said Monday about why his team is lagging behind in the NFC East. "The truth is, this is a quarterback-driven league. And if you look at the teams that have been able to sustain success, they've been able to build it around a specific quarterback."

Smith, who now works as an NFL analyst for ESPN, responded on the Monday Night Football telecast.

"I had a really hard time watching that," he said.
