Agree with most everything you say here but not Tampa Bay being a garbage team(at that time) nor Alex Smith being a garbage QB. Tampa came out smoking the first 2 games with Fitzpatrick having career days early. They have since regressed to the become the more like the Bucs team they were expected to be.
Also, I don't think Alex Smith is a garbage QB. He's had a solid NFL career by most standards and has a lot of quality wins. He's not a world beater but he's better than a garbage QB.
