Jury is still out. Let’s see where things stand after more games with Tannehill. 

I never wavered in thinking he's a good OC. He certainly has some room for improvement but I think it'll work out. Mariota just made everything look so bad that Smith was looking foolish for a bit the

again, this has more to do with QB than the OC.

as a matter of fact, this has almost nothing to do with the OC


It’s a statistic.  Or rather, two statistics.  They don’t have ulterior motives.  What is yours?

It's always more about the QB than the OC.

 

That's the whole point.

I'm asking about the OC, not the QB's

They’re inherently linked though the dependency/beneficiary can be debated.  You can’t isolate an OC’s performance or attempt to evaluate him without taking into consideration the QB’s play.  It’s one game.  You need to pump the brakes on whatever answer you’re looking for.  Tannehill needs another month’s worth of starts before we can properly evaluate him and Smith needs another months worth of QB play that isn’t Mariota’s to get a handle on where he is as well.  It’s a long season, we’ll get there.

perhaps, but that's not the point of this

- McNair was probably a better QB with Dinger than he was Steckel.

the OC is still relevant

of course you can.

you can evaluate a gameplan on being effective whether the offense executes it or not.

like running a draw on 3rd and 21 ... shit like that.
 

here's another way of looking at it, what does the QB have to do with a handoff to the RB ?

today there were 29 pass attempts and 29 rushes ............ the QB was responsible for half of the offensive results

 now what?

Arthur Smith can only call the screen or the bootleg, he can't actually throw the passes.

Do you even know what you’re attempting to argue at this point?

As it’s been stated by dozens of people already, including me in this thread several times, it’s one game.  We looked better today.  Arguably good.  But it’s a single game.  In which the most pivotal role was different than the previous six games.   Give it time to form a conclusive opinion.   If you want more than that....good luck?

I'm not "attempting to argue" anything

I asked a question, several actually.

I asked about Arthur Smith, you've replied with Spots, Refs, Defenses and QB stats.
