assume the discussion is between JT and Smith only. what do you think you can get from Smith that he hasn't shown yet for the past 3 years?
you also seem to presume it's Nolan, but it seems more evident that its Martz that favors JT. JT is more of a Martz type of QB, high risk yields high rewards. I'm beginning to believe Nolan is riding Martz, so what Martz says he agrees. Just as a quick example, remember the 4th and goal run by Foster? If nolan was calling that play, would you think they go for it before the half, or get the safe 3?
