As much as I dislike Smith, he's light years better than Colt. I dont understand the Skins fanbase thinking they're ok with Colt as the QB. Yeah, he knows the system but that doesn't mean he's a good QB. If I were a Skins fan I'd be worried about this being a lost season now. Worried about what? We won’t get smoked in the first round of the playoffs now? Our ceiling with Alex is just about the same as with Colt. This just helps us get our young franchise QB faster.

If you haven't been watching the Redskins games you don't understand how terrible Smith has been. Yeah - our ceiling was a first round playoff loss. That's probably still our ceiling with Colt, only difference is the floor might be a bit lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those three games all occurred on November 18th. both won super bowls 2 seasons later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naptownskinsfan Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 The Washington Post is reporting a 6-8 month recovery time for Alex Smith. Another report I read earlier said that no ligament damage was found during surgery. Six months puts Smith beginning football activities right after the draft. Eight months has things going right up to training camp. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2018/11/19/alex-smith-recovery-take-months-other-injured-starters-uncertain-dallas-game/?utm_term=.1ea190f9e20c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and a few others who are new and have joined the board and are being relatively active have been great. I hope you stay active I, and I’m sure others, enjoy your posts, opinions and knowledge! Thanks man, I've posted on message boards for almost 15 years now. I've been a moderator, admin and even owned my own sites, so I enjoy talking with people through this avenue- I am disappointed that fewer and fewer people are discussing sports on forums and instead are more concerned with hot takes in the cesspool that is social media. I'm also a huge Redskins fan, and it runs in my blood- my uncle played and coached for the team many years ago- so I put ,myself through all of this year after year because I have to.

lavar703 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 If the Redskins are smart they will figure out a way to get out of this contract ASAP. Pay him whatever you need to settle out and get it over with. He wasn’t good before the injury and there’s no way he’s going to be the same after it.

There is no way the NFLPA is going to let $71 million guaranteed be settled out as an injury settlement. They want fully guaranteed contracts to begin with, and this would be a drastic step back for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Smith can’t play, the Redskins still have to absorb the guaranteed cap charges of his contract. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/11/18/alex-smiths-contract-gives-him-plenty-of-protection/ If this is accurate (and PFT has a so-so record on these sort of things), he's getting his 2019 and 2020 salaries.

Those of us who were willing to start him this past season were doing so at an eye for a top 5 draft pick and getting an actual signal caller.

So long as its one extreme or the other. 5 hours ago, MKnight82 said: Firing Bruce Allen is more important than firing Gruden IMO. But yeah I agree with your premise. Unfortunately, this injury is just what they ordered for top cover. "We were 6-3 and atop the division when our quarterback went down with a catastrophic injury! You cannot change horses now!"

Ghostnote Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I would have been absolutely fine with McCoy starting if the intent was to build the defense and the offensive line, in order to get a look at this years crop of QB's. Especially because, we would not have this contract lingering over us now, and we woudl have a 3rd round pick, and we woudl still have Kendall Fuller. Yep, Bruceeee is the issue. Guy just can't get out of his own way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreeK1973 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I wish the best for Alex, but to be brutally honest he is done playing football. I just don't see him being able to bounce back 100% fully from this gruesome injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naptownskinsfan Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 More injury updates: it was a compound fracture, meaning the bone was sticking through the skin- same thing that Theismann had. The emergency surgery happened due to the massive risk of infection that poses. Modern medicine has advanced and while this injury may not be career threatening, it is going to be a tough road ahead for Smith. One of the bones was also described as a spiral break- a long bone broken by rotational force. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
