Smith was a conservative QB, who needed a strong running game and defense to win ball games. He did his part for the most part by keeping his teams in positions to win by not losing the TO battle. He took care of the ball, which was huge let's not pretend that had a lot to do w/ the good record he had while he was here.
BUT...
If the defense wasn't creating TO's or weren't keeping teams out of the endzone and if he ever had to get into a track meet w/ an opponent he usually came up on the losing end (when his team allowed 24+ ppg). He's not the QB that can get you past the good teams in this league, and we all saw that. We all saw the offense go into stall fetal position mode too many times w/ Smith. At least w/ Mahomes, we'll know that hell throw past the chains and extend plays. With Mahomes, the range of field to cover just got a lot bigger for opposing defenses.
