Actually, he's totally wrong.

Cam Newton broke 300 yards in only 3 games. He managed to get to 4,000 total yards because of those 2 first games, when he threw for 850+ yards. He actually had more games of less than 200 yards total (4).

And actually, the Panthers lost a lot of leads last year in the 3rd and 4th quarter.

And you get hung up on one part of what he said. "This is the honest truth: I could absolutely care less on yards per game," Smith said. "I think that's a totally overblown stat."

Just look at Brees last year, passed for a ton of yards still got beat by the 49ers.

Actually, I am getting "hung up" in 2/3rds to 3/4th's of what he said, and that part, is totally wrong.

As for Brees and the Saints losing to the whiners, lest we forget, he did get the Saints back from a 17-0 deficit and put the Saints ahead with a minute and a half to go in the game against an outstanding defense. If he weren't actually able to throw for a ton of yards, the game's over in the 1st. And if it weren't for 4 consecutive horrible series by the Saints defense in the 4th quarter of a playoff game, Smith would be unemployed today, and no one would care what he had to say.
