Alex Smith’s Amazing Comeback(?)

[skinsfan69]

Smith wants to play. If he is cleared then put him out there in practice. If he can not move around and protect himself then he and the coaches will know. Let it play itself out.

[sdskinsfan2001]

Alex Smith has more than earned the right to go out in whatever way he wants to. If he wants to play, and team doctors say he's cleared, then he is on the team. There is no way AS on the roster is anything other than a positive.

There should be some special kind of protection for the leg,maybe a special pad lined with steel so when he does get hit hopefully he can walk back to the huddle.

Just getting to this point is a major win for him. I still can't see him ever playing again though.

I wouldn't bet against him.

He's not working to just take a snap or be relegated to QB3 to never see the field again...and I don't buy it that his sole drive is to keep getting paid.

He was just added to the active/PUP list that will run through Week 6. Then a decision will have to be made to activate him or find alternative plans for him.

If Alex beats out Dwayne we are fucked haha

Until I saw the documentary on Alex Smith's recovery, I did know just how bad the injury and infection was.

My personal opinion is that while Alex Smith has earned his right to end his career as he wishes...I do think that he should be greatful to be alive and still have his leg. If Alex Smith is completely cleared to play, I seriously think that Alex Smith should be assigned to either the QB-2 slot or the QB-3 slot. That way Alex Smith can say that he truly came back and he can be a mentor (coach) to Dwayne Haskins.

Just my thoughts

Did he pass the physical?

[MTK]

If he’s on PUP pretty sure that means he failed the physical

Not necessarily, the local reporters, Keim and Findley, mentioned that if the player does not start camp on the PUP list then he cannot then be moved onto it at a later date, so starting him on the PUP list is just keeping their options open in case he can't quite make it yet during training camp

A player can't go on PUP if they pass the physical, so they must have failed him on his.

[SolidSnake84]

Per Ron Rivera both Alex Smith and Rueben Foster failed their physicals.

[skinsfaninok]

Lake Lewis was saying due to no pre season they wanted to put him on the PUP list

[Monkeydad]

I wasn't counting on Foster this year, or ever.


Shame, he could be a big contributor on D, he has/had talent.
