Better to pay him to be a backup than to pay him to sit at home. Sucks if thats the best case scenario. Don't know who the hell this team could draft or afford by then so anyway., so looks like we're fucked.
Maybe there's a Doug Flutie guy in the CFL or something.
AS is getting paid either way . The call will be his and his wife's to make if he ever plays again.

Plan A for the QB position needs to be about moving forward without the services of Alex Smith. I would have no qualms about trading for Carson Wentz. Wentz has all the tools needed to make a big comeback.
If Alex Smith were my son I wouldn't want him to play NFL football again. It is just too risky. I just hope he recovers enough to be able to walk.

Guys Carson Wentz is not coming to WSH lol, its insane to even think about this. The Eagles already said he's the guy and thank you to Nick Foles. We are drafting a rookie to start most likely, unless AZ takes Murray and we trade for Rosen.

Smith ain't even gonna be the backup this year. He's probably looking at PUP list at a minimum, and even then they might not activate him after week 6. We should just assume he's done at this point in the game given his age and the type of injury it is.
I guess its still early on in the "recovery" phase, but from all reports things are leaning in that direction. I'm going to start researching the CFL for the Doug Flutie guy.
EDIT:
Mike Reilly: https://www.cfl.ca/players/mike-reilly/131087/
Bo Levi Mitchell: https://www.cfl.ca/players/bo-levi-mitchell/158222/ (love the double name)
Trevor Harris: https://www.cfl.ca/players/trevor-harris/156305/ (this guy went to D2 Edinboro "Fighting Scots")
Lots of options now.

Assuming Alex Smith is done they need two QBs. This is Colts last year.
Alex would be cut in 2020, cost $16 million.

Vet and a rookie is ideal
Colt, Johnson, and a rookie

Wouldn't mind that either.

I would move on from Colt. He inability to stay healthy when called upon is a problem...cutting him would give us a little relief as well and Johnson would be cheaper. I think we go into the season with Colt...by far the least exiting option and tank job in full effect. Colt is the fucking reason why Gruden and Bruce have never gotten serious about drafting a young, developmental QB.
Rookie QB whether first round or 4th round. I wouldn't say we have to take a QB first round...this team isn't in a position to reach.
I honestly believe they will be vets cut who will be available in the affordable range who can come in and compete. Not Flacco or Foles, way too much for both. I think Dalton, Tannehill, etc could fall into that category.
I definitely don't see Colt going anywhere. He knows the system inside and out and he costs all of $3.5M.
