BuffaloBills1998 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) Maybe we sign him to being Allen’s back up? Would definitely take him over Barkley that’s for sure Edited March 1, 2021 by BuffaloBills1998 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streetkings01 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Per Ian Rapoport. Perfect backup to Josh. Veteran that has won a ton of games in the NFL, good leader, good athlete even after the injury, limited arm strength but wont kill you. Alex Smith is the perfect backup QB to come in for 1-4 games and not kill you. 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brennan Huff Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Not surprised. He made them look extremely bad in that interview that came out last week 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiltonWaddams Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Maybe the Vikings should trade cousins back there. They don’t know what to do with even a moderately good quarterback it seems, so why not give them a less than moderately good quarterback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seoulofstone Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) I know this guy has a lot of fans and it's a great comeback story if that's your thing. But I just don't get why a guy who had such a significant injury, who has made that much money, and who has a young family could think that playing on is a sensible decision. He's not going to win a superbowl because he isn't good enough. I know that he has a great reputation as a mentor, but really? His comments seem really driven by ego and self-centered. I just don't get it. Most of all I hope he doesn't get badly hurt because he can't walk away. Edited March 1, 2021 by Seoulofstone 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Smith was a great story this year, the fact he was able to see the field and be semi-successful. Imo, he should hang it up. He's almost 37 years old, has plenty of money, and did what they never thought he would after 17 surgeries. At this point why risk anything further. He has nothing to prove to himself or anyone else. 3 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Honestly, as much as I admire him for his dedication to coming back, he was just painful to watch....as in, every time he was under pressure, I was holding my breath expecting to see blood. I wish, for his own sake, he would hang it up. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has nothing to prove to himself or anyone else. He should heed this advice, but it sure doesn’t seem that he has any interest in it. A team who drafts any first round QB not named Trevor Lawrence should have him on speed dial. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Noggin Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I think Davis Webb is the perfect backup for Allen next season. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 They’d have to change the offense for him. They don’t have backs and tight ends to throw to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The broken leg was like 20% of Smith's issue. The reason he missed so much time was because of the flesh eating bacteria he contracted. He's got doctor approval to play, and as a backup we would actually be ensuring he doesn't land somewhere as a starter. It would also be kind of fitting that the guy who mentored Mahomes would take on the same role with Allen, which seems to be something he actually embraces.

If you decide to look for it on your own, it's not the 60 minutes one. That one was entirely about his injury and recovery. Interesting but the team was barely mentioned.
