Krenzel wasn't just a quarterback, he was a leader. Which is also something this offense is in a desperate need of.

We have three QBs sitting on the bench. One of them has no experience, one has minimal experience and the other should be starting right now. Maybe one of them has leadership skills, but we can't find out because JT insists on playing Jacks...Beliss...Smith.

Jackson was during the Cooper era. Belissari was the best QB we had at the time and it was JT's first year. The team responds better to Smith. Zwick, IMO, may be the better QB but you can't make the argument that this team would have a better record with Zwick manning the QB position. Also, TB is to young to be thrown into the fire just yet.
There were people bitching and whining to bring in McMullen over Krenzel just because Krenzel wasn't lighting it up. That goes with the territory, people have their own opinions.
My reason for this thread wasn't to bash any of the current players, coaches or anyone else. I just truly realized how unappreciative people were of Krenzel.

I don't necessarily support switching QBs, but am I the only one who thinks the whole "team responds better to Smith" thing is bull[censored] and a lame excuse?

And I would like to think our guys understand that, but there's only one demonstration of understanding that and that's at 12:00 noon on Saturday.

people from this site have spent a day with Justin Zwick and afterwards realized why everyone likes Smith better.
Krenzel wouldn't have done jack if the line broke down 20+ times a day like today.

No, you're not the only one. I completely concur. If you think it's bad here, check out Bucknuts.
"Responds better", "Sparks the team", etc.... That's always the response to Smith's crap play. <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->
