I will not be watching that play again. Feel awful for him. Alex Smith is a great story and seems like an even better dude. Hope he can make it back with the help of modern medicine.

Doc Brown Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) Smith is having his worse season since he had the fortune of playing under Harbaugh and then Reid so I don't know if McCoy is even a drop off.

If both qbs were 33 then maybe it'd freak me out a little Smith is 34 and Joe the throw was 36. Same date, same score and 33 years is weird enough BTW it looks like Alexs career may be over too. Thats a tough injury to over come in your 20's let alone mid 30's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto. I'm no doctor but I doubt that injury is career threatening. I could be wrong though. Even though I have a strong stomach, I understand how painful that must of been. This is why I have no problem with what LeVeon Bell did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, you recovered ok. Thanks for your concern.. I was 58 at the time. I now have a titanium rod in my tibia and plate and screws in my fibula. It's quite the story and I should probably tell it in Off The Wall since this thread is about Alex Smith and Joe Theismann. Hopefully Alex has been as conservative with his money as he is with his quarterbacking and can think about "walking" away from the live action.

What happened to Alex Smith could've happened to Bell. Would you really risk 50m to play for a team that's lowballing you? That's what a grunt would do. Bell played it right. His career could end at any moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBs are a dime a dozen. if he is willing to sit out this year what is to stop him every time he wants more?? No team wants this headache nor to set the precedent of appeasing malcontents.
