Need to win to make playoffs. Alex smith has been brutal and I'm considering starting hundley over him. If I played hundley and missed playoffs because of it, that would haunt me forever. But he looked great last week and Tampa is awful. Is it that crazy of a move?

I would totally agree with you which is why I would play Smith. That said, is that really the smartest way to play it?? Probably not. Playing Hundley makes a ton of sense based on how he played and the matchup and it’s easy for me to tell you to. In the end for me, I’m sure I would go Smith just because I would hate for it to cost me but that’s just how I tend to play things

That's so tough... I'd probably just stick with Smith, since he's got a good matchup as well, but I fully understand if you want to be done with Smith and go with the upside of Hundley. If you need the win though, and you're projected pretty evenly or above your opponent, I'd probably side with the higher floor of Smith. Hundley is just as likely to throw three picks and fumble twice as he is to blow up.

Thanks for confirming I'm not insane. You both told me exactly what I wanted to hear. Wish me luck
