When the Redskins traded for Alex Smith this offseason, many felt the veteran signal caller was simply a game manager, who needs a solid running game and a few offensive weapons to be successful within an offense. Many said he was a dink-and-dunk passer, despite him leading the league in deep passer rating last season.
Last year under Andy Reid in Kansas City, Smith passed for a career high 4042 yards and 26 touchdowns, while completing 67.5 percent of his passes. He also chipped in 355 rushing yards and a touchdown. Smith had a plethora of offensive weapons in Tyreek Hill, Albert Wilson, Travis Kelce and rookie running back Kareem Hunt, but his offensive line struggled a bit throughout the season, especially left tackle Eric Fisher, allowing the mobile quarterback to be sacked 35 times.
