The guy just got cut for running his 3rd team into the ground. Hard pass. Agreed. Bradford is straight up trash. We need to bring in someone with a modicum of mobility. The OL is broken and we need someone who can escape pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is kinda a creep but might have the most upside for a back up. We would just have to do a better job of keeping him away from alcohol than we did with Scot.

Warhead36 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I don't wish injury on anyone but this might be a good thing for us in the long term. It might force Smith to early retirement which means we can persue some of the money back and not get hit as hard with that anchor of a contract.

profusion Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Very sad for Alex Smith. Hard to imagine him coming back from this at his age. I'm guessing the Redskins will come to an injury settlement with him in the offseason. If the season were lost, I imagine the Redskins would sign some greenhorn to be the backup to McCoy. However, they need someone who can come into a game and actually win it, if needed. Not too many good options, unfortunately. Who was the guy the Redskins traded that late-round pick for this offseason and then cut? At least he would have some familiarity with the playbook.

Skinsinparadise Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 My son had the exact injury that Alex Smith did, same two placement of broken bones, fibula, tibia. He went into surgery the next morning after it happened. It wasn't complex surgery but the doctor told me my son is lucky that he's so young because that same injury for an adult takes a long time to recover from. My son's about 8 months removed from the surgery and he's still not running, it took him about 4-5 months before he was walking normally. So sadly this isn't an easy surgery to bounce back from fast. Wish the dude the best -- and sadly I have an idea of how this type of injury works, the physical therapy, whole 9 yards. If I recall Thompson's injury was just the fibula. This one is worse than that because its both that and the tibia. So the front the tibia (which is basically the shin) and back of the leg (the bone in back of the shin) in layman's terms.

I have not seen anyone happy that Alex got hurt, and as one of Alex's biggest critics, I can say I am not happy to see him injured. I didn't see the game...did he get crushed holding onto the ball waiting for a deep route to develop? You don't think Gruden and Alex read this crud. You can't tell me the publicity didn't pressure them to take risks...I had a gut feeling listening to Gruden's talks that he would push Alex too far with a more than suspect OL against the Texans....just my intuition. People wanted Alex gone or better yet..NEVER here. Sorry Alex...you picked the wrong town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooper Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Smith is a class act. And he did a lot to win games that wasn't reflected in his stats. But ya gotta think the Skins have to move on somehow somewhat. May not be a way with his cap hit. Start watching the West Virginia QB folks.

I still have a 7 inch steel plate in that leg at the ankle and they left in 2 of the 5 screws. This thread is going to turn into the "How do we recoup some cap space" pretty soon, I don't see him coming back from that injury, especially since it was late in the season.
