I had already posted this thing in 2 threads otherwise I was going to post it in the 'who would you replace Smith with' thread and answer "Me....because even I would've let this ball go...."
Seriously, I'm as gobsmacked by that play as I've ever been by any play. In any sport. Ever.
I've seen guys throw behind the winning run at 3b. I've seen defensemen put pucks into their own open nets. I've seen guys shoot at the wrong basket. I've seen a lot of things in a lot of different sports that all had me less agape than watching Alex Smith stare at the fastest man in football as he drew even with a mediocre defensive back who was standing stock stick and still elected not to throw the football.
There is absolutely nothing about that play that I can wrap my mind around. I've seen one proposed answer (he was throwing to Kelce) and I don't see it - dude was staring right at Hill.
I'd replace Alex Smith with the first quarterback available that will make THAT throw. Which is pretty much every single one of them.
