The Facts:
Following up on a previous item. ... HC Chan Gailey said Smith will be listed as a QB with his primary role as the QB in the Wildcat formation. Gailey said, "Brad is a very good athlete and was a very good quarterback coming out of college. He has proven he can make plays on the football field in a lot of different ways. We love his versatility and what he is going to bring to our football team. If we had four months together, he'd open it up a lot more. I think eventually he will open up the playbook quite a bit. The Wildcat would be an ideal role for him to start."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The NFL lists Smith as a WR, but he hasn't had much playing time there, "He did not have a lot of opportunities to be a receiver. He is a good enough athlete. I see him being used in a similar role as I used Kordell Stewart in Pittsburgh. He can play some receiver and quarterback. He gives you a lot of versatility. He can play special teams, cover kicks and return kicks. He can do a lot to help a football team win games. ..." Meanwhile, in Ryan Fitzpatrick, Tyler Thigpen and Smith the Bills have three QBs quarterbacks. Gailey said that isn't an accident, "The more similar you can keep QBs; you don't have to have different game plans for different people. That is a real advantage for us as an offense. Maybe this year, more so than any other year, that's an advantage. ..." Fitzpatrick is still locked in as the starter; Thigpen is No. 2; but it sounds like we'll see plenty of Smith this fall.
