Alex Smith needs to retire

I'm sure he'll kick around as a back up, but that contract the last few years has been guaranteed because of hte injury...I wouldn't have retired during that time either

What's the main issue with Jones that Arians refuses to commit to him? Obviously the fumbles are an issue, but LF is so very bad actually running the football. How is Jones pass catching and in pass blocking? 

Terrible pass catcher thats the main reason...   Not that Fournette is much better really.

none of those guys can catch the ball. Fournette is completely useless though, at least Jones is a good runner when he doesn't fumble.

It's a quirk of Arians' dating back to when he was with the Cardinals (and possibly the Steelers' OC as well).  You fumble, you must be punished with loss of reps.  It was why it took so late into the season for David Johnson to make his original breakout, despite that he was showing he was clearly the best RB on the team at the time.
