Redskins trade for Alex Smith

[KI Skins Fan]

I think Kirk Cousins would approve of our sincere intentions to get this Alex Smith thread back on track.

With Smith not turning the ball over, this is a good thing for the Redskins. Although, I have always equated turnovers to you being in one camp or the other. One camp - you turn the ball because your accuracy sucks. The other camp - you turn the ball over because you're a gunslinger and you play aggressive - high risk, high reward aka Bret Favre.

No one is going to confuse Alex Smith for Bret Favre, but I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't some similarities to how Mark Brunell played for us. Mark didn't turn the ball over, Mark didn't have a strong arm, but he could move the ball. And at times, Mark could take off and run. Alex Smith is a better athlete than what Mark Brunell was, but I think like Brunell with Clinton Portis and Laddell Betts, Smith will have to rely on a strong running game.

Since the day of the trade I have been excited and I can't wait until the season starts, I'm telling you Alex Smith will bring wins and playoffs to this franchise, he WILL win a SB before he retires.

Many did that for the former QB that shall remain nameless.

"It takes a lot to overcome perception.

To a lot of people, I might just be the guy who went No. 1 in the draft. Or the guy who lost his job to Colin Kaepernick. Or the guy who helped turn a 2–14 Chiefs team into a back-to-back division champ … but then couldn’t put them over the top.

And that’s O.K., I guess.

But who am I, really?

Honestly, I think I’m still figuring that out. I still haven’t found my boundaries as a player. I feel like the limits as to what I’m capable of — they’re still out there. And that’s what I’m working toward."

Love this part.

This man is coming here to achieve something.

He wants to prove that he was worth the #1 Pick, you can see it in his message. I like that hunger

So thank you, Kansas City. You will forever be a huge part of who I am as a quarterback and as a man.

And Washington?

Let’s build something great together.

HTTR!

It's still a very respectable contract in my opinion. Especially with $71M of that being fully guaranteed. Averages out to be about $22M per year. It's a good contract all around in my opinion.

Cowherd says the Viks are "favorites" but just a month or so ago he said this

"If you have to pay Kirk Cousins $30 million a year, he won't help your team, he'll hurt it. Alex Smith comes in at $23 million, only $18 guaranteed. Forget the fact that Alex Smith has a better passer rating. In fact, Alex Smith led the NFL last year in passer rating."

Dude is another clown

while in sort of a jaded, ex sort of way, I hope he's right. But yeah, Cowherd is nothing but a talking head. He's right there with Bayless. Talks a bunch of junk but in the end, that's all it is, is junk.
