Alex Smith’s Amazing Comeback(?)

NFL Networks' Ian Rapoport said Washington head coach Ron Rivera wants Alex Smith back as the team's quarterback in 2021.

How about no

He wants him back to groom our future QB like KC did with Mahomes

Why don’t we stop guessing and see what happens. It’s nice to surmise about the thought process of coaches. It’s obvious that Alex can still play at a high level.

My question to you is how can you make that assessment when Alex is 8-5 as Washington’s starter and everyone else is 6-21? How shortsighted of you.

I’m done with second guessing Smith. The guy is just a winner.

I’m enjoying the ride right now! Very thankful Gibson lead us to victory yesterday

How much does Smith cost us next season as a player compared to cutting him? Can't help wondering if on balance keeping him another season is really that expensive considering the vet leadership he brings. Kicking him to the kerb this offseason then bringing in another vet doesn't make sense to me if he can go one more year (or 2?). I know Rivera's said he wants to keep him anyway and I'd be surprised if he wants to retire now, so just hypothesising.

I don't know how reliable it is, but according to Spotrac, he costs 24.4 mil next year. If they cut him after June 1st, he would cost 5.4 mil against the cap in 2021 and 2022.

Barring injury, Haskins shocking the world and beating him out (if he's still here), or a rookie beating him out, my guess is A Smith will be the starter next year.

I'm fine with Smith coming back as the starter next year, but beyond that no. In the 1% chance Ron is encouraged by Haskins' attitude (and isn't just giving him lip service so we can drive his price up for the offseason) maybe another year of tutelage under Smith would help, if not I expect Ron to grab someone to develop under Smith for next year. Kyle Allen is a nice kid but I haven't seen anything that makes me think he's our long term future.

I like winning. When Alex plays, we win more than we lose. Let's bring him back in 2021, and build the rest of the team.

We add 2 more guys on D, and the group is elite.

We add 2 more guys on D, and the group is elite.This. We were 6-2 with Gruden coaching and ASmith as qb. I think this coaching staff will get even more creative as they get comfortable, although I hated the buttarooski.
