Yup....I saw it every day on social media....Smith getting heavily criticized for his style of play....but the the thing is we knew he wasn't Dan Marino when we traded for him...so there should be no surprise at all when he executes his conservative style of quarterbacking...

Lol apologizing for what...colt and Alex Smith aren’t the answer at qb.

Alex Smith trade and extention will haunt this team.

Better use one of the first couple draft picks for a qb

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.

Remember, colts here because of jay love for the guy. Instead of developing a young qb, jay wanted colt...not good

Fire jay and who comes here? Not many. Nobody wants this stress, chaos and bullshit. We are the least desirable job in the game.

You know who is to blame is Bruce Allen and dan Snyder...we can roll call the qb decisions from these 2 from the last ten years and there is a clear path of poor decisions. Alex is a major disappointment this year...with the injury there is very little reason to believe his game will get better.

It’s not logical to believe a guy coming off a major leg injury at 35 who has struggled to lead an offense...will wake up and lead this team effectively.

It makes zero sense to believe that...none.

So we need to deal with reality

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.

People will line up for the job. It is one of 32 in the world and ten will open this spring. The problem I have is firing him due to injuries. The bigger question is who do you go after. I start calling Michigan Monday morning.

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.

I’ll eat my crow. I was wrong about McCoy. Thought he would run the offense better than Smith. Thought he’d succeed. I was wrong and openly admit it.

I agree with this. Kudos to Smith, we won games because he was effective not turning the ball over and making just enough plays to win games.

It appears we're screwed for at least next season though because his cap hit is too high to bring in someone else, unless we want to throw a rookie qb in there and have Smith be the backup. No vet can come here with the cap hit Smith carries next year.

I agree with this. The salary cap will mean the team is forced to draft a QB and either use him next year or Colt /Alex until the rookie is ready.

The real question is how much the Redskins will invest in draft pics to get a top notch QB draft pick.

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.

Alex is a stand up guy, he could take a pay cut or even retire if he isn't able to play at his standard. Long ways to go on that.

Gotta let the season play out first. If this is the start of the descent, we could be looking at a new coaching staff (hopefully FO too) for next year. I don't see any way Smith isn't on the roster next year though, there's absolutely no reason to put the amount of money he's owed on our dead cap in addition to paying another qb.

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.

The lack of not drafting a QB to groom this year is going to hurt, I suggest they find someone next year. It doesn’t have to be a 1st round pick, just someone with potential who can learn quickly.
