Our OL isn't quite good enough for a back like Boyd to dominate in this offense. They are having a hard time creating gaps, and Boyd isn't as shifty as Smith.
With that said he's still a better NFL pick than Smith, it's just unfortunate he hasn't gotten more yards. He sacrificed money to come back and play for us when he didn't have to.
Hopefully we can open up some lanes for him to hit soon.
He would be better served playing with a QB under center aka NFL style.

Also, Briles would be best served to design some more screens for him.
If he gets in the open field he can take it to the house, it's just tough sledding on the inside right now.

I don't think boyd is bad by any means. I think he's a great back. I just think for most flexibility with offense smith provides that.
You need both though to really get through a game and not wear one out or get them hurt.

I somewhat disagree. Although I think Boyd does fit better in a downhill pro scheme, I think the NFL puts so much value now on versatility, especially in backs. Smith to me is a James White, Sproles type. Primarily a pass catcher who can also run hard if he has to, but his best asset is space and elusivness and making 1st downs in the open field. He has very good awareness on the field.
I could easily see him as a lower-mid-round pick who shines in an offense that utilizes a lot of screens and draws.
Smith should also be a staple for our 2 point conversions. They have continuously shite the bed there. I'd just go copy the old New England playbook for 2 pt conversion plays because they're one of the best teams I can remember in those situations. And they featured a lot of plays to a 3rd down type back and receivers in space.
