I think it's crazy that Kap & Mahomes didn't reach out to Alex or maybe they did privately.
I'm sure they did. By all accounts they each had a good relationship with him.

He helped them both become pros and take his job.

So based on the situation, the logical assumption would be that Alex would be the bitter one, not the other two. And we all know Alex isnt wired like that. So kind of an odd thing to say.

I don't know Alex so we all don't know what the ______ we are talking about most of the time, or at least that would be my assumption. We know Alex about the same as we knew Aaron Hernandez or O.J Simpson.

Now, what I was saying is that they both (Kap & Mahomes) owe Alex a bit of gratitude for the tutoring/mentoring they received. Therefore I am not sure what you are talking about when you say "odd thing to say".

It may be a dog and pony show and I hope it is because how could you want to play on that leg? Redskins can recoup some of his contract if he were just to retire.

No way he plays again. His leg looks mangled AF.

He will say he wants to play again, in order to rehab for as long as he can on the Redskins dime. No reason for him to retire.

Redskins should be paying the medical bills.

How can you look at his history of loyalty to the team he is on and make a statement like that. Did you really mean it to sound that way it does?

Go to KNBR and listen to the podcast with Stefania Bell about how his competitiveness drives him and get back to us.

I watched a recent interview and man that Alex Smith is one tough SoB. I'm rooting for him.

I didn't mean for you to get upset. I simply meant that it would be foolish for him to retire and not collect more of his contract, while rehabing with Redskins resources.

He will never play in the NFL again. He knows that and Redskins know that. But, the Redskins are not going to do an injury settlement while Alex is still claiming he wants to play again. That would be a bad PR move.

That's all I was trying to say.

He is. That leg was . I just hope he can live the rest of his life with minimal pain and be able to be active with his kids, later in life.

Not just that, but he's around the team. He was on the practice field throwing the ball and mentoring Haskins; who made it clear that Smith was a huge help to him. Unreal to me that anyone could look at Smith in this manner after all he's been through and is going through.

Its hard for me to imagine him getting handed the starting job again after the injury and considering his age after the injury. He will be a high level backup at best. He may get the opportunity to be a 1 year bridge QB candidate for a young raw QB

Given his history as a mentor to Kaepernick and Mahomes, the Redskins would be foolish not to keep him with the team. IIRC, his salary was guaranteed for injury so cutting him is not an option. Smith might choose to retire but only after it became clear to him he could not play again. It would be very unlike him to not retire when he knew he could no longer play. It isn't like he needs the money. He has made a ton and invested well.

It would be almost criminal to allow him back on the field. He almost lost the leg and listening to that one young women at the military hospital, he may have been better off if he had. One big hit on that leg and it's no longer a question. He couldn't go through that again. I would really feel bad for the player that made the final hit if it was just incidental contact or a lineman falling on it. He may make a good QB coach with all he's gone through.

True. That conversation was tough to watch. She was basically telling him to seriously consider chopping the leg off or dealing with pain forever.
