To put this in perspective, it is a very real possibility that much of the teams previous five seasons can be laid directly at Smith's feet since the only player left on the roster that he had anything to do with is Posluzny.

While Vic is a very good and very experienced writer, it's not like his football analysis is rock solid.

Yeah,

I enjoyed reading the column occasionally.  I disagreed with a solid 25-30% of his "analysis." He knows the game well and was a good resource for me, but some of the individual player talent eval and scheme stuff I didn't fall in line with. 

Wasn't really a big fan, personally, but I enjoyed it more than I didn't.  I don't share the Oehser hate that many have as it turns out. His schtick can be a bit tiring at times and Vic was a bit better writer, but he's not so bad to me.
