Alex Smith’s Amazing Comeback(?)

Simply unbelievable. I felt like many people that his injury would certainly be career ending. So does Alex Smith start this year at some point? Or do we try and trade him now that he will be able to be signed elsewhere?

I dont think anyone is going to trade for him. I also dont think we should trade him. He is one of three quarterbacks on the roster and if he can actually help that is great. It isn’t like he had a head injury and needs to think about his future. He had an infection which isn’t going to necessarily come back if he gets hurt again. Amazing that he is back and cleared for action. Great story.

Agreed. Truly incredible he came back. He still has to be cleared by the NFL/team. Think it's Haskins job for sure though with a fairly short leash. Allen will be on his heels. Either way, this is nothing but a good thing and I'm very happy for Alex Smith.

I didn't think this day would actually happen but kudos to Smith for what no doubt has been one of the hardest road to recoveries ever. Also a testimony for the unbelievable advances in modern medicine. I hope once he gets confirmed to practice he'll be another asset to Haskins and this team. And if he wants another shot at a starting job then I would be happy to trade him to the team of his choosing.

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.

Do I win a prize for this prediction?

I sure hope it works out.

Let the man complete his journey, Jesus Christ. Calling for him to retire now is brainless. Why would you work so hard to return only to retire now? Money, sure. But now that you’re possibly on the precipice of making the most improbable comeback of all time, NOW you’re going to step away from the game you loved as a kid, at a time when you maybe have 3 years remaining in the game anyway?

Let the doctors look at him and let him take the next step accordingly. Christ, some of you guys aren’t even suited to speak at a 5th grade career day.
