Re: Redskins trade for Alex Smith

The difference, I think, with Alex Smith is that he takes care of himself and he has steadily improved year after year. I would be concerned if he had a great 2015 season, but the last two seasons weren't as good. However, he's steadily been on a trajectory upward not down.

Now, having said that, the stress of playing in DC and the question of the health of our offensive line might factor in. I think by the time the season starts, Smith will have some weapons, so I'm not too concerned about that. Just want our OL to protect him.
