Alex Smith Week 9- Alex Smith was one of my favorite quarterbacks to watch last season. He plays the position at a high level lacking a lot of the dynamic tools other quarterbacks have. He utilizes a high football IQ to deek defenses and manipulate the coverages.

Putting him in Washington will turn Smith back into the quarterback he was before last season. With limited weapons and a questionable offensive line, it will be a long season for Smith. Still, the veteran is good and can make plays.  The Redskins are lucky to have him and will benefit from his leadership in 2018.

Dak Prescott Week 11- The last time Dak Prescott faced the Falcons he was wearing Adrian Clayborn for much of the game. Clayborn had a game for the ages and kept Falcon’s fans from seeing how good this quarterback is.

He isn’t elite or going to make many flashy plays but he is going to take care of the football and make the right decisions. With Dez Bryant, gone Dak is likely to be more comfortable in his game and only throw to the open receiver.

Dak may be just a game manager but that isn’t a slight. He is great at controlling the tempo and making all the right plays while taking care of the football.
