Buffalo Barbarian Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 Have seen worse, hate to see him in that pain but watching that stuff doesn't bother me.

I will not be watching that play again. Feel awful for him. Alex Smith is a great story and seems like an even better dude. Hope he can make it back with the help of modern medicine.

Doc Brown Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) Smith is having his worse season since he had the fortune of playing under Harbaugh and then Reid so I don't know if McCoy is even a drop off. Edited November 19, 2018 by Doc Brown 1

If both qbs were 33 then maybe it'd freak me out a little Smith is 34 and Joe the throw was 36. Same date, same score and 33 years is weird enough BTW it looks like Alexs career may be over too. Thats a tough injury to over come in your 20's let alone mid 30's

I'm no doctor but I doubt that injury is career threatening. I could be wrong though. Even though I have a strong stomach, I understand how painful that must of been. This is why I have no problem with what LeVeon Bell did.

I broke my tibia and fibula in the wilderness 4 years ago. When I had a buddy on the radio he asked, "How bad is it?' I said "Think Joe Theisman". No more questions were needed.
entropyrules Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 i wish they would stop doing this stuff on my birthday...the cake didn't taste as great

row_33 Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 then we had to suffer listening to Joe's broadcasting career grateful for his work with the Argos though in the early 70s 1

Tough break...literally. How old were you when it happened and how long until you recovered? Hopefully, you recovered ok. 1

Hopefully, you recovered ok. Thanks for your concern.. I was 58 at the time. I now have a titanium rod in my tibia and plate and screws in my fibula. It's quite the story and I should probably tell it in Off The Wall since this thread is about Alex Smith and Joe Theismann. Hopefully Alex has been as conservative with his money as he is with his quarterbacking and can think about "walking" away from the live action. Edited November 19, 2018 by Uncle Joe
