liquidfriend 1,151 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Can't help but think his career is effectively over. That sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mloe68 1,521 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Feel really bad for him. Shows how quickly things can change in this league. And right after he’d thrown a pick 6. Two things we got really lucky he never did here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s a clean break that would actually be best. But that deal can easily tear tendons and such. And for a guy that has to be able to run to be effective, it’s not good for his future.

If you start tearing things that require surgery beyond a broken bone it can be a major issue for a guy that needs his running ability. Just depends on what it is. Doesn’t look great though for a guy who will be 35 next year and isn’t a pocket passer. Ironically he only missed one game here with injury and never threw a pick 6 did he?

dksww 484 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 broken tibia and fibula for Alex Smith. I hope he gets well soon but I would think that does jeopardize his future in the NFL. He probably attempts a comeback and isn't very effective is my guess and has to hang up sooner than he would've before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final game of 2014 against the Chargers (Chase Daniel) and 2016 against the Jaguars come to mind (Nick Foles). The 2014 game was due to injury I'm pretty sure, it wasn't the 2013 game also against the Chargers that he missed due to rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thegoatee 1,780 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Probably all depends how clean the breaks are to the bones. But this is an ugly injury for an older player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An injury like that can certainly screw with someone's mind and I'm not sure if he'll be so trusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also ironic this is almost exactly the same day his career in SF basically came to an end because of a concussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qnet 1,150 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 They didn't want to show it on FOX, so I know it must have looked bad. I'm really feel sorry for Smith, and hope he can bounce back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetlord 10,209 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Smith is in immediate surgery and the 'Skins are looking for a new QB to back up McCoy. It shows what can happen with a decimated O-line. I feel sorry for the Redskins. They paid a lot for a veteran QB and got off to a fast start. Now their season is in the toilet. Yeah, part of the game, but their hopes shouldn't end this way. Even worse is the thought that the Cowboys will now probably win the NFC East.
