While Smith is one of the worst QBs I've had the displeasure to suffer through, our problems are also scheme. Our offensive woes are not strictly a lousy QB. Holtz is so devoid of offensive know-how and imagination he hamstrings the offense. Too vanilla, too predictable. There are simple fixes to the problem. Any good OC...and maybe we have one but he's not allowed to do his thing...could put in a real offense quickly and easily. Hell! I could!
