Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
I agree that in the moment there should be no question that this is the surest move they could have made to have a top 15 QB on the roster.
Keenum was the second veteran option, and would be betting on a guy with one good season. Maybe you pair him with a midround project, but what are the chances that duo would bring anything but more mediocrity? If we wanted to draft any of the top 4 QBs we'd be in a ridiculous bidding war right now to trade up. A move that would likely cripple us for years all over again. In the end though, AS will always be bench marked against Cousins, Keenum, and the rookies this year, if any of them out play him, everyone will in retrospect say it was the wrong move.

I think regardless, it was the only move the 'skins could've made other than to have paid Cousins twice as much as he would have taken with the Vikings - and then would've crippled any chances of filling out the rest of the roster. In the end, I think Smith can easily play until he's 40.

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
I wish SS were around to clarify the "Don't answer your phone" text from Bruce Allen.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/sport...=.deb92dc044f9 It seems weird though that BA didn't just call Doug Williams with the news, and/or that DW wasn't able to be told even through a text. |

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
Bruce is the point person for making deals happen, I'm not sure why that's strange at all. Doesn't mean Doug or Gruden wasn't involved, as the article says:

Regardless, yes it sounds like the whole team staff bought in, and was kept at football level decision making so I like all that. |

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
Just think about this, since Allen has been here, he's given away a total of 6 draft picks trying to get a QB. These are picks that don't actually include the drafted player. IDK of anyone in the NFL that would be able to get away with that. Let's hope the last one is the one that leads us to a SB.

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
Well the Jets took a qb in the second last year, and without him playing a regular season down traded 4 high quality picks to move up this year.
Cleveland, well it's cleveland Minnesota traded how much to Philly for Bradford? Other than lightning in a bottle, or sucking for Luck type seasons, attempts to get quality qb's cost draft and cap capital. Nearly every team with a bottom tier qb has made similar jumps to get "the guy" |

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
per PFF, Smith ranked 1st in big time throws, meaning throws that could be risky or that result in a TO.

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.
So he and Brady not only have a lot of big time throws, but are also not risky with their throws.
Notice, BTW, which quadrant that the Redskins logo is in. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
