justice98 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Fun fact: In the postseason, Alex Smith has a thrown 14 TDs to only 2 INTs in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyfan1993 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Well. I am Shocked by this news. Wow. With that being said, i think this is a good choice. Alex Smith is a good upgrade. He has played pretty well with the Chiefs. Not his fault Andy Reid blew that playoff game earlier this month for those that are not happy about this, or saying “im done with this team, wahhhh”, how about we wait to see what we do in FA and the draft, and how the team looks in training camp/pre season? Y’all going to just walk away cause Alex Smith is our New QB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Apparently one site already has this official http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/washington-redskins/alex-smith-3337/ Nick Foles cost $12 million. A good backup at $17, assuming a young kid comes to start in two or three years won't be a bad deal for stability. I still suspect this is NOT official and WON'T happen. But, again, for $17 million I'd take Smith over Cousins at ANYTHING more than $22 million. Tell me you wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Yeah the Alex Smith of the last few seasons isn’t the Alex Smith showing up in DC. He has no defense compared to Kc, no running game, no weapon as good as Hill or Kelce. Should be fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 This isn't as bad as the fanbase is making it out to be. Do you honestly think Smith would falter and fail with Jay Gruden tutoring him? Let's take a look at what Jay has done - tutored Dalton to be a good QB which he has regressed without Jay - tutored Cousins to be somewhat good - tutored other guys What's to say he doesn't tutor and unleash the best out of Smith? Smith is not a bad QB. Am I saying it's a huge upgrade? No. Am I saying it's better than who the Giants pick (Rosen / Darnold)? No. It's a gamble for sure. But it could pay off for the Redskins.

Bacon Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Why do we continually agree to shoot ourselves in the foot? Rest of the league: "I'm going to set a gun on the table... Redskins FO: "Can I shoot myself in the foot with it?" Rest of the league: "Well, you could, but I'm just setting it down for second..." Redskins FO: "Can I touch it?"

ZRagone Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Here's the issue. If we're giving up a 2nd round pick for him, it means the difference between his contract and Cousins needs to be worth at LEAST enough for solid starting quality free agent contracts. Why? Because if it's only good enough for one such contract, that's the equivalent of what the 2nd round pick is. It's not the only aspect for judging this, but it's definitely part of it. If we get Smith for $18 per year and Cousins gets $30 per year, then sure...can make some sense. If we get Smith for $22 per year and Cousins signs for like $27? No, that's a big problem.

HogsVa7 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 2nd round pick is not bad for Alex Smith. Idk what we signed him too, but if I had to guess who we traded was Sua Cravens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redd Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 At least now we can definitely draft an every down back and a reliable blocking TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCalMike Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 A player being involved in the trade seems to not be 100%. Some reports say the last they heard the price was just a 2nd rounder. Other reports say it includes a player. I'd sure like to know which is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jericho Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Thing of it is, this is actually the best buyer's market for QBs in a while. It seems at least two of Bradford/Keenum/Bridgewater will come available, as well as Alex Smith, Kirk Cousins, probably Tyrod Taylor and maybe even Blake Bortles. Also possibly AJ McCarron. Not to mention a strong draft class. I think it would have been very possible to find a serviceable QB without forfeiting draft picks or picking up a player in their mid-30s. This just seems like a lose-lose move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre snap read I disagree - I think Gruden does a great job of giving his QB solutions on either side of the formation for different coverages. I might agree with you on the audible side.

Morrison J Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 We aren't winning with Alex Smith. This is pointless. The move to make was to spend a high pick on a QB and let him develop behind Colt. Now we've got an aging QB and lost a high pick instead. How is that progress? Dan and Bruce never fail to outdo themsekves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsinparadise Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 So at least a 2nd round pick for a soon to be 34 year old QB. Old school Danny? Doesn't this through out the window getting trade value for Kirk? Granted it wasn't going to be easy. I like Alex Smith the QB, if the method to the madness is not to skip a beat next season, this does that. But long term? Don't care for it. Adam SchefterVerified account @AdamSchefter FollowingFollowing @AdamSchefter More Kansas City is expected to receive a second-round pick from Washington for Alex Smith and possibly more, per source. But a second-round pick was the price as of this morning, before trade between KC and Washington finalized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
