No surprise here, that was a gruesome injury. I wonder why he just doesn't hang it up? In 2020 he'll be what? 37?

He would be 36 years old when the season starts in 2020. We don't really know where he is at mentally right now, for all we know he may know that his injury is career ending and it hasn't been announced yet.

If that isn't known yet, then having an athlete's mentality he is most likely hoping that he makes it all the way back in 2020 and is able to play again, whether it is here, or somewhere else. The coming months should tell us plenty. I wonder truly how committed the skins are to Alex, and will they be willing to wait a whole year and just use a stop gap QB to keep the seat warm until Alex can come back, or if at some point this year they make the decision to move on, draft a QB of the future while they get the Alex situation sorted.

As far as Alex Smith goes, if he can pass a physical, i'm sure there will be a handful of teams interested in him as a backup / spot starter / stop gap QB. He will be 37 in 2021, not freakishly old for a QB these days when you see guys like Brees and Brady still slinging it in their 40's.

We will draft someone in the 1st or 2nd. With that investment in a high pick, and if he plays well, Alex will never play here again EVEN if he does make it back.

Isn't this good news?

I am sure this was talked about, buried in some thread somewhere, but I do not want to go looking for it. What is the cap implications if Smith retires say at the most opportune time for the Redskins, say after 6/1/2019 or what is the best case scenario? Has this been talked about?

Terrible for Smith. Tough way to end a decent career. As a Skins fan I am only concerned with how the money end shakes out. Hopefully we do not end up even more screwed as a franchise because of it. Football wise He was not the answer.

Agreed. Smith wasn’t playing well at all, and the offense was badly held back by his play. Gruden needs a QB who can run the offense at a high level, and the ability to use the entire playbook.

Another Bruce Allen blunder, and Bruce Allen contract agreement.

The offense did NOT operate anywhere near the tempo and level that Cousins ran it. It was stagnant. Simple

In the brief time McCoy played we saw a much better passing game, touch downs, etc.
