Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
My question to the clowns in the front office is if Smith was already under contract when they made the stupid ass trade, why did they extend him for 3 more years? Couldn't they have just waited a year to see how things went?

He would have become a free agent after this season, Skins probably weren’t interested in more QB contract drama |

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
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.

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
I don’t think anyone including myself has said it’s a sure thing he’s coming back. Just like that would be dumb to say it’s also dumb to speculate that his career is over.
I posted this before, worth sharing again https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com...120-story.html |

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
I am Celtics fan, I will tell you right now Gordon Hayward is shell of his former self. He is 28 and had nearly entire calendar year to heal and rehab.

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
Whether AS comes back or not, his cap hit is very heavy and it means that the team won't be able to hire anything but a cheap veteran replacement.
I also wonder if big ticket players like Norman might be let go due to the ripple effect of this cap tsunami. I think this forces the Redskins to at least consider drafting a QB in the first round, in the bid to get a franchise QB

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
I just read tonight that Alex Smith is still in the hospital from his leg surgery. I guess he has a pretty serious infection.
