I have the displeasure of owning Russell Wilson this season. And to compound things I didn't even draft a competent backup qb.
After 2 weeks of gawd awful suckage, I decided that Wilson hits my bench until I actually see him finally break out. So to the waiver wire I went.
I ended up choosing smith over semian. For one smith's matchup vs the chargers with no verrett is better than semian's this week.
But the interesting thought I had is that smith is in a Drew Brees chargers type situation this year (like the year that the chargers drafted rivers). Chiefs drafted mahomes. Smith candidly said he was upset by the pick and knows this is likely his last year as a chief.
I think he's playing this year not just for a sb but he's auditioning for the rest of his career. He's tired of being called a weak armed game manager. He knows that he has to erase that stigma if he is going to get the job he wants next year. I have a sneaky feeling that this is the year where Smith put it all together and really does finish as a top 10 qb. If not higher. He's got the weapon and he's clearly showing the Moxie to throw the ball down field this season.
what do you guys think? He's on a lot of waiver wires right now.
