Man, you are just grossly overrating how bad he was. What the hell do you have against the guy? Lol this is so bizarre. In 2018, he allowed a passer rating of 74 (36th in the league) on passes that came his way. This was on 118 targets. QBs had a completion percentage of 48% when throwing at him. In 2019, that passer rating was 100.9 (173rd out of 263). There is no rating data for 2017 and 2016.
If you're a PFF fan, from 2016 to 2020 his average grade was 61.74. This past season, he graded out at 60.9. The dude has never been anywhere near the worst CB in the league. Then you say Jimmy Smith is bad? I'm fairly convinced you're just goofing around for jokes. Jimmy Smith is a straight up good corner. Lol. In 2018, Smith allowed a passer rating of 73. In 2019, he allowed a passer rating of 67. In 2020, he allowed a passer rating of 57. Jimmy Smith has been bad in the sense of health. He hasn't played a full season in years. He also hasn't allowed a touchdown pass since 2018.
