Geno SmithQB

Smith suffered the largest year-over-year decline of any quarterback, falling from a career-best 2.90 average to 3.70, with an 11-spot ranking drop tied for largest. A defensive coordinator said he looked terrible on film. Defensive coaches noted the Raiders' poor offensive line (he was sacked 10 times in one game against Cleveland) and lack of offensive identity hurt him, though coaches gave him more benefit of the doubt than execs, with one offensive coach willing to rate him Tier 3 pending better circumstances.
