I think anybody, weekend MD's or not, who are guessing that it's a "sure thing" that Alex Smith comes back, are being completely foolish. I would say he has a greater chance of not coming back, due to everything that we have heard, and perhaps the actual doctors feel the same now that they are taking the wait and see approach, instead of saying "oh yeah, he's coming back and will be totally fine, no doubt about it".

We already look pretty stupid IMO the day Jay gave his presser and told everybody that Alex would be back in six months. Almost every day since then, we have gotten worse news about Alex. The first news break was that the break/injury was worse than we initially believed several hours after the game. Then last week it was that Alex faced a 8-10 month rehab time barring any setbacks. Now this week it is that the doctors seem to be acknowledging that this is potentially a career ending injury.

I do agree with Matty we should know by the spring i would think, if Alex actually can come back.
