Mobility
Remember the days of Robert Griffin III, Tim Tebow and Colin Kaepernick tearing the league up with their read-options and spread offenses?
Well, those days are long gone. The only reason the read-option worked so well a few seasons ago was because it was fresh. Defenses took the offseason to figure it out and the college-fad worked its course.
Now, RGIII and Kap are struggling because they simply aren’t classic, pocket-passing guys.
Regardless of the read-option fading from the pro-game, it’s still used in increments, and possessing a quarterback that can feature a little mobility is always a positive.
Smith, despite not being thought of as a classic read-option guy coming out of college, has done efficient work with that look. He’s piled up seven touchdowns and 704 yards on the ground through four seasons.
