NeverSurrender Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Really hoping you pull through Alex!!! You are a class act and a true leader. Get well soon and know there is much more to life then football. You will succeed at whatever you do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OVCChairman Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 OBVIOUSLY the most important thing here is that Alex is ok and you never, regardless of your opinion as a player, want to hear about someone going through something like this... this is bad and I hope they get this thing figured out. Edit: Removed because it's kind of insensitive at this point... I'll pose the question later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooper Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Brutal. Smith is a class act. Everything Snyder touches/signs goes South. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbias Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I feel horribly for him and his family. Thoughts and prayers are with him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 For Immediate Release December 6, 2018 STATEMENT BY WASHINGTON REDSKINS: "On behalf of Alex Smith, we appreciate all of the concerns and prayers over the injury he incurred on November 18th against the Houston Texans. Although this is a serious injury, Alex and his family remain strong. We would ask that everyone please honor the Smith family's request for privacy at this time."

Heisenberg Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I'm not sure what to make of that statement they just released. Maybe it is just standard procedure but for some reason it just makes me uneasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyHolt Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Call it a hunch, but I feel like coaches are forced to jump through hoops to rationalize why a backup QB brought in, is a better fit than QB X who didn't get a tryout. They don't have to tell us squat. We like him! That all said, Josh has a lot of experience in many systems and keeps the Tampa connection live and well.

I'd venture to guess that's a way to put the flag up to the beat reporters, national reporters, and other people out there that may have direct access to Alex (cell phone number) and they don't want him to get flooded with people looking to make contact or get statements....

bcl05 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 His fracture was compound (with bone piercing skin). Those nearly always get infected, and those infections can be awful. This is unsurprising, but bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSSkinz Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Craig Hoffman was on Grant and Danny talking about the Redskins having an insurance policy that actually recoups cap space in the event Alex can no longer play football. He didn't go into much detail or have any specifics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCalMike Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Not that every injury isn't a "health more important than football" but in this case that can't be re-iterated enough. Not really important at this time whether Alex Smith plays football again or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
