That is because the teams he was on was really good. The 49ers and Chiefs won without him and were more explosive offensively. These are facts. Alex Smith is a damn bum.

[CRedskinsRule]

Terrible for AS. Can we all unite behind Colt now?

[J. Falcon]

I feel much better about this team going forward with Colt McCoy.

[SFREDSKIN]

Colt is effective running the offense, all of a sudden receivers started catching balls. Trey Quinn helped quite a bit with 1st down catches.

A lot of people i'm sure wanted Colt McCoy to come in, but i do believe that nobody wanted him to come in given these circumstances. I hope that Alex Smith's career did not just end today.

After that second INT, I was ready for McCoy. I felt the only thing that kept Smith in the lineup these past few weeks had been that he didn't turn the ball over. His two INTs led to 10 Houston points.

Still, I feel bad for the guy. If he comes back from this, it would be a miracle.

He's 34 , his career is over. He's already going to miss most of next yr now so he might as well hang it up.

I think we need to slow the roll on ending his career. It’s a 6 month injury typically.

It looked to me like a compound fracture, bottom of his leg was at an angle.

LOL! Not for a 34 year old.

Yes, i think he will try and rehab it just like Joe Theismann did, but i'm not sure if he will ever get cleared to play. Joe tried to comeback, but failed his team physical. Only time will tell. Joe was older too, but not by much.

Just curious wasn’t Joe contemplating retirement

I don't think so, I read Joe's book but it has been a long while. He had a press conference 4 days after surgery and he vowed to come back for the 1986 season. It was only when he had to work out for Lloyd's of London that summer, that it hit him that he was done. He said that he was doing fine, sprinting and running and throwing, but it wasn't until he had to roll to the left that the injury showed itself. His right leg had healed shorter than the left due to the injury and the surgery, so he said he looked like chester from gun smoke. 8 months to the day that L.T. broke his leg, he failed his physical and that was it.
