As well as his relationship to the owner. Smith and Snyder are close, with Smith spending hone ganes last year in the owners box. Snyder has taken a ton of PR hits over the past two years since this injury happened. I could easily see him wanting Smith to start and generate some good headlines. FOX has Rivera stating Smith will have a chance to compete for the starting job.... https://www.nfl.com/news/rivera-says-alex-smith-could-factor-into-qb-equation-if-cleared Edited July 29, 2020 by 40Year Pack Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Buck Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 It should be considered a victory for Alex Smith to have gotten back to where he is in his recovery. With this in mind, as well as all the money he has made over what has already been a long career, I'd like to see him ride off into the sunset, keep his health, and enjoy a great life for the next 50+ years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the way things are looking we might not even have a season. Would give Smith an extra year to get his body right if he's serious about playing again.

patriotsheatyan Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Are people sleeping on Smith? The Redskins were like 6-3 with him a couple seasons ago. Players can sometimes come back from previously unimaginable injuries now. And I think people underestimate how valuable not turning them ball over and being able to complete basic passes is. What it can do just for field position, time of possession, and avoiding negative changes in momentum. I’m not predicting a huge comeback, but if he can play I can see him QB’ing a 5-11 type team to 8-8 and an 11-5 type team to 11-5. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF Smith can play, would they consider starting him all season - or just play him enough to raise his trade value by the October deadline ?

I understand overcoming the mental challenge and having that satisfaction of playing again but there is a line where it's just flat out irresponsible to even attempt to do that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be the brace that makes it uncomfortable but yeah it looks like his leg is still stiff. I'm not a doctor but his leg will never be the same, I don't care what any fluff article has to say about it. But I am glad to see him walking around again with his family.

Do you realize how much that is going to affect his mechanics and footwork? He never had the strongest arm as it is. Now imagine that now when he's struggling to put pressure on his back foot? I don't see anything wrong people doubting him at this point. He shouldn't even be trying to play again for his sake (not gonna judge him tho).

I know logically they’re probably doing this in part for the PR, but I don’t care, his Dream was to end his career on his own terms and I’m not mad at that. Sure he will never go down as a HOF, but as opposed to looking back on his football career only with the despair of how his life was forever changed by one moment he can still return and have a quality season or be involved with a playoff team and live those thrilling and exhilarating football memories with his team/family before he chooses to ride off into the sunset. Love it. edit: Even if he’s cut for some reason and doesn’t leave on “his own terms” Per se he still would have gone down fighting and not allowed his injury to defeat his passions.
