Smith's worst miss was the early overthrow to Timmons that would have been a TD on the seam route.

The one that was nearly picked was on Montgomery. He should have broke it up. Smith read Blitz off of the left side and threw a quick slant. The receiver didn't make the proper adjustment.

That's the way I saw it.

Smith made the right read time after time. He doesn't have the best arm strength but he does direct the offense well and most of the time throw it to the right guy. There were at least 5 drops of easy catches that were on the receivers. I think those drops cost them 2 TDs.

Smith was really good IMO. You saw a red zone turnover as soon as he went out. I guarantee Smith doesn't heave that ball into double coverage on 2nd and 5 in the red zone.

You are correct with Smith's worst miss being the seam route that should have been a TD. However the slant you are referring to was just another should have been interception that I didn't mention. I was referring to the stop route by the wideout and smith just lofted it out to the sideline and the corner didn't even really have to break on the ball because Smith didn't put anything on it. If you are throwing across the field to the sideline like that (Out, Stop, Hitch, Comeback) whatever it may be you have to put some velocity on the ball. And as bad as the missed possible TD to Timmons was, the multiple misses on 3rd downs kills a team. It wasn't all Max's fault as i said earlier it was poor offensive performance. However, we got to be able to give receivers a chance to catch the ball on 3rd down(even if they are likely to drop it).
