Re: Offence and Alex Smith
Very scary indeed. Alex now needs thoughts and prayers, this is definitely career-threatening if not career-ending.
I was too young to see Joe. T break his leg on live TV but i was sitting there watching it live today, and it was absolutely gruesome and every bit as horrible as you would imagine it to be for those who didn't see it when it happened today.

Re: Offence and Alex Smith
Come on, man, it's human to feel bad for ANYONE whose leg is snapped like that, especially if it threatens his career.

Re: Offence and Alex Smith
True.
However there is another point: Alex has made enough money in his career where he does not have to play anymore if he feels like his health as he get older is more important than a game. I am certain he will rehab like crazy and make every effort to play again. Nobody wants to go out like this. However Alex was drafted very high and he has more than enough money to retire if he decides next year it ain’t worth it anymore. |

Re: Offence and Alex Smith
This can be life altering. Kiss goodbye running a marathon or skiing with the family or hell even simple things like going up and down stairs can be debilitating. After something like that I hope he can get full mobility back without pain.

Re: Offence and Alex Smith
I don’t how this affects the salary cap, he’s due $13 mil this year, $15 mil on 2019 starting January 5th. Then what if he retires?
