Yes, I watched almost every game Smith played and it was not good. The guy had like three TDs and averaged like 3.4 yds. per carry. Not good for an every down back. Maurice Morris looked just as good, if not better, than Smith did this year.
As for the TO/Lynch thing -- you saw exactly what happened, TO was shipped out when he acted up. Plus, Lynch is no TO. TO proved himself on the field, and had no off-the-field issues, like Lynch. The Eagles players/coaches would be able to be a good influence on him.
Don't think my argument is weak at all.
