Alex Smith released from hospital

Yeah I don't see Smith playing again. That Doctor Quote pretty much sums it up. I would imagine he will retire.

But I thought he would be back in 6 months?

That is the kind of stuff that infuriates me with Gruden. He didn't even know the full nature of the injury, really had no idea, and he goes and has the presser and says basically "Yeah, Alex is going to be fine, he's going to be back in 6 months".

Other coaches would say something like "Well I don't want to speculate on the nature of his injury, I haven't gotten to talk to the medical staff yet, but certainly I want to wish him the best and a speedy recovery". But not Gruden.

I don't remember him saying that at all. When the infection struck he and the Redskins asked for privacy on behalf of Alex and he gave no timetable for return.

He said something along the lines of its usually a 6 MO recovery but I don't think he said Alex will be back

If we're referring to what Gruden said on the day the injury happened, which is well before anybody knew Alex had developed an infection, and expecting to hold Gruden to those comments, then we've collectively lost our fucking minds.

Obviously when Gruden said these broken legs are typically 6 months to recover, he was talking about a common uncomplicated version.

Not aimed at you, but the inability of some to digest nuance is asinine. Nobody can get pissed at Gruden over this.

This is literally like the worst reason to get mad at Gruden. Plenty of other reasons (can't pick a d-coordinator for shit comes to mind) but insinuating Alex will play in 2019? LOL. Attention to details folks.
