He wasn't. Mobile or not, Smith never lived up to his high draft status. He has been an above average QB at absolute best, played on some solid teams but never elevated them and never came up big in playoffs when it counted most. Trading for him was horrible. He is again a stellar human being, but a thoroughly average QB. The worst thing about him is he is Cousins 2.0, Captain checkdown, lacks the killer instinct to go for the big play. You're not beating Mahomes or other great QBs with a QB with that mentality. Sooner he is off the roster, the better, even if he was never injured.
