1) You don't trade Smith. You certainly don't waive him (at this point) as you owe him the respect of handling this as a professional if you want to attract future RFAs.
2) It is time to give Rittich the ball for 4-6 games and assess whether you think he has learned from last years stretch where he faltered.
3) Tre is all over the phones guarantee but there isn't a magical unicorn in the bush nobody else knows about.
4) You can give up on Smith for this month, hell, even next month but you dont give up on him for the season. He is better than just about anything available for free. We have all had moments in our life where nothing goes right and Smith is facing that right now. Give him some "time off" and see what happens. Players regress, they don't fall off a cliff as Smith has. I am not convinced this is the norm.
