Alex Smith taking starter reps

[The Natural]

So.

 

[fivetwos]

Big factor in Wash/Phil is if Cox can play, and I dont see why he would.

I do expect some zebra help to get Dallas in as opposed to the others though.

Any of the three would likely get stomped in round one but I think Brady going to Dallas is a better story line for the league than NY or Wash.

I hate to think things actually work that way but they often seem to.

Cox is the key

I think Hurts has been found out...probably already. Not a fan.

Just like Tua. There's another quarterback that flourished in the Alabama system.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

No way the Football team loses to the Eagles if Smith is under center. And if you think Hurts looked like a rookie last week against our defense just wait until he goes against that defensive front.

Washington Football Team will advance to play next week.

Hurts did well against the best defense in the league in the Saints.........

That's what she said

Fact alert

 

[RoboQB]

Here's bad luck.

But how!?! I mean, the guy has a permanent mask on his face... lol
Just kidding, but it is quite the majestic beard.
He could star in Christmas Cronicles 3 with that beard.

Smith lost his first 3 starts and then won his last 4.

Bengals
Cowboys
Steelers
49ers

I’m not bashing Smith. He’s a damn good player. But this isn’t the difference of getting Prime Brady / Manning. He possibly could not have McLaurin. So they will play solid D, run the ball, throw short passes and hope to win the turnover battle.

Just to play Devil's Advocate, the NFL also likes feel-good stories.
Alex Smith returning from horrible injury comes back and wins division.

For the record, I prefer your story choice.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Smith is going to play. It’s a playoff game for WFT.

 

[starfan1]

Smith, IMO, is a lot better QB then many on this board give him credit for. I don't know what we'll see out of him, assuming he plays, but it would worry me.

Ya people seem to forget KC wasn’t exactly horrible with Smith he’s a good QB who just can’t seem to stay healthy.
That to me is his biggest issue

 

[Aviano90]

Smith lost his first 3 starts and then won his last 4.

Washington is 4-1 with Smith as a starter. The other 2 games he came in after Allen got injured.

 

[Fletch]

Uhoh.

Cancel the parade.

 

[Fletch]

If big #91 is playing, don’t think it matters if Alex starts.

I agree.

Yeah you know I use to consider Alex Smith underrated but he's all of a sudden become overrated with this fanbase. He has played good football for someone in his first year back from the injury he came back from.....but he's not winning these games. He's managing them. Some of them he's even playing poor in. He is not good enough for me to sit here and say the Commanders will automatically beat the Eagles.......

Oh he was good for Reid, just not good enough. Word is, ( reading a few nuggets ), he can get you to playoff/postseason but that's his ceiling.......folds during the postseason. It's the biggest issue Andy Reid had with him.

People really this worried about Alex frickin Smith??? 2020 really is wild.

Exactly, I was watching the game he got hurt in, he was not playing that well prior to the injury.

He's the best QB Washington has which gives them a better shot at winning than if he doesn't play. He doesn't need to be great if that Washington defense shows up.
