Even with what your saying, why would a wide receiver taking a screen and making it a big play change how I felt a qb played?

Jenkins even breaking free in the first place on that play was all about his own effort. Smith did zilch on that one.
As far as quarterback rating goes, you don't even need to bring up QBR to talk about the sheer irrelevance of the stat. Ditto for quantifying quarterback play based on win-loss record, which you see all the time at basically every level.
Smith is playing better, although I did not think this week was one of his better games. Not saying it's bad, just that I think he's looked better at other times this year. And he's still leaving tons of potential plays on the board because he's so hesitant to throw the ball downfield. Hopefully Reid continues to push him on that. We're going to need him to be aggressive at some point.
