Theismann was in attendance this game too. Incredibly eerie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKillerNacho Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I always felt that Colt McCoy was an A+ name for an NFL QB. So I hope he impresses and keeps a starting gig. Having said that, it would be so much better if we could somehow get him to start for the Colts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissooner49er Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Didn't Theismann's femur break? I thought Joe's injury was the upper leg whereas Alex's is the lower leg? If so, that is a significant difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theismann had a compound fracture, Smith had a compound AND spiral fracture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KManX89 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Well, there goes the Skins' playoff hopes. Dallas just got hot at the right time. Hope for nothing but the best for Alex in recovery, always liked him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwibrown Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 If he retires because of injury does he get the 71 million guaranteed? That would be tempting if it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching it in real time - I didn't think twice about it, but then they closed in on Smith, frantically taking off his helmet and trying to rip his jersey off. I knew then it was bad, but never figured it was THAT bad until they showed the slo mo replay... Reminded me of Nick Fitzgerald last season for MSU...

Smith is probably very smart with his money - he's got his Masters' in Economics (3.79 GPA, earned in 3.5 years) and was one of the "bonus baby" #1 picks before the rookie cap was implemented. I'd wager he's turned that money into a lot more by now. So, if he returns - it's simply because he loves to play football, not because of the money.

Ghostnote Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 For those that need to know, Smith is guaranteed for injury the 71M, so yeah, there was a chance. And of course, our front office was unequivically stupid and paid a 34 year old QB that kind of money with no real way to get out of it. Why oh why do I continue to be a fan of this depression called the Redskins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
