Look at the "weapons" he had in SF. Even in KC it's just Charles and Bowe, whose inconsistency is a problem and what kept them from advancing in the playoffs.<br /><br />People still want to wait and see with Smith. He's been good since 2009, and great since 2011. How much longer does he have to prove himself?Timnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-954835709746146242014-09-01T22:58:25.304-04:002014-09-01T22:58:25.304-04:00Anon 7:18, this isn't Cleveland...or the othe ...Anon 7:18, this isn't Cleveland...or the othe other home of the Browns, the Baltimore Browns.
