Smith was a great player at Mizzou and is a great weapon in the pro's. He also has outstanding character. I think the reason the Bills were able to land him is the Christian angle with Gailey. Smith is a very sincere, very devout Christian. IMO Rex Ryan doesn't seem like a very devout Christian, unless foot fetishism is a secret Christian rite I have not heard about, and Ryan's arrogance was one of the reasons Smith left the Jets.
So for one of the few times we did well in FA recently, we were able to land a very good player because he is Christian, rather than settling for below average, very devout Christian free agents. The very good but not very devout free agents elect to sign with programs dedicated to winning, not dedicated to a superstitious Deity or an arrogant attitude that only devout christian players have character. Which seems more and more like the Bills standard for signing a player.
And what gets me about the Christians, they actually think God gives a crap about who wins football games or cares about football players. I tend to doubt it. Seems to me they are probably guilty of the sins of Pride and Arrogance. Unless...
Twas on a Sunday afternoon and the boys were in the yard
With Jesus playing fullback and Moses playing guard
The Angels in the bandstand let out a mighty yell
As Jesus scored a touchdown to beat the boys from hell.
