Alex Smith documentary

Post by Geezer »

My Lord that leg was gruesome about 4 or 5 days after the injury.

That he’s able to just walk again is a minor miracle. That was bad. Really bad.

His talent might not stack up to his 1-1 pick across history, but his character does. KC owes Alex Smith a lot. Got lucky with him.

I was upset when he was traded.
Guy was undersold as a QB but now obviously Mahomes is a generational talent.
Hope he recovers fully and if he wants to, plays more football.

History will be kind to Smith for his tenure in KC. Not only for play on the field but the leadership and stability he provided to a franchise that was near rock bottom.
His knock was that he just couldn’t win big games and of course Mahomes was going to be next level.

Alex Smith will probably go down as the greatest ‘game manager QB’ in NFL history. While that’s an odd distinction, it’s still an incredible accomplishment.

And, by all accounts, he seems like a fabulous human being.

Not a bad combination

The documentary only reinforced what I'd already thought: Alex Smith is exactly the type of guy that I'd love marrying one of my daughters. Humble, intelligent, hard-working, internally-driven, and wildly, wildly wealthy.

What a tough documentary to watch. Man. Alex is a great person. I think he might have won a SB if not for some weird calls and luck. The Theisman curse is real.

He deserves better weather, but whatever keeps him from joining Urban Meyer is good IMO.

I liked Alex as a "game manger", but lets face it he wasn't a Super Bowl QB.
