It is awesome that Rittich is playing so great. If they were both playing good, it’s better for our team. Personally I would play Rittich tonight but give Smith another start very soon. But I won’t be surprised if it is Smitty tonight.

I think people are more worried that we get 5mith again, and I think it'll be a few good games before the coach's decision to give him another kick at the can doesn't worry people that this game might not be a fun one. It's not necessarily people trying to figure out the coach any longer... it's the fear that they're going to pick up the dice again.
Schedule wise, this should be Rittich. Smith has an opportunity to play CHI & LA right after this.
