I should have benched Steve Smith

[cursebreaker1017]

Has been shutout so far and the first half is almost over

[The_Captain]

Who were your other options?

[cursebreaker1017]

issac bruce..

I have started smith all year and thought the best option was to stick w/ what has worked...

Bruce has 97 yards and a td so far..

Smith has nothing

[Goatwhacker]

Tough to bench Steve Smith, I would have started him over Bruce too. That's the way it goes sometimes.

[maddog60]

Why do people always complain before the game is over. There is no excuse, short of developing a time machine so you can predict bad games with 100% accuracy for ever benching Steve Smith.

[RocketsDWM]

In hindsight, yes you should have played Bruce. But I would take my chances with Smith 100% of the time.

I wish Smith would have been injured instead of Delhomme. Same result, but at least I'd have been able to bench him.

I would think that Carolina would try to get the ball in his hands as much as possible with their QB out.

I wish i benched him too...but i know i would have never done it.

I'm sure they'd love to. The problem is, Weinke's the one who has to put it in his hands.
