Smith was a three year starter at a FBS school with close to 1,500 pass attempts under his belt. Whereas Lance had a whopping 318 total attempts in his single season collegiate career. I'm not saying that there isn't a Pete Carroll or Andy Reid out there who can't rescue and salvage Lance's career, but the guy could really use a season or two in the CFL to get his experience level up a bit.
I figured that someone would bring this up and it's pretty accurate. I'm not sure that the kid needs to be in the CFL just yet. He was evaluated as a high-end draft prospect by many outlets and teams.
I agree that he needs playing time. However, I do think a change of scenery could do him some good. He's only been in one system in his young career. Hence, my Geno comparison. Once Geno found the right fit and coaching, he excelled.
