I say let him have a symbolical snap and be a mentor to Haskins, but yeah no way I'd root for him playing again. The fact that he got back here is amazing enough.

Is anybody factoring in how Alex Smith feels about it? You think he worked his ass off just for the symbolic nature and the platitudes? I'm thinking he came all the way back, and once he gets cleared by the team he's gonna wanna fight for a starting job with another team. We'll probably oblige him in helping him go to the team of his choosing if that's the case. Just sucks because I liked having him here as a mentor to Haskins.

You're 100% right it's his call.
From where I stand I just wish he'd enjoy being alive and well and don't risk another major injury at a time of his career where he's not going to suddenly become a Hall of Famer.

Mooby we typically agree on plenty...AS needs to hang it up. The image of his leg...no way should he get back on the field again.

I gotta feeling there is another role on the team or org for Smith. He isn’t going far.

I wouldn't blame him if he did hang 'em up, but the man just spent almost 2 years coming back from a wound comparable to a combat zone injury. You think he's gonna settle for getting a doctor's clearance? Nah. He made it this far, obviously his doctors have said he has no physical setbacks and is back to pre-injury form, once he gets team clearance he's gonna want to prove he can go out on his own terms. Obviously it won't happen with us but you know there will be some team out there willing to let him fight for a job. And if nobody wants to I'm sure he'd settle for sticking out with Rivera and being Haskins' backup.
