Semi-OT: One less veteran QB in the mix, as Alex Smith retires

[50-yard-line]

Wich has nothing to do with the Pats.

Sure could have plenty to do with the Pats, as a QB-needy team.

Say he went home to CA to mentor for the QB SF picks at #3.

That has rather large implications for the Pats. And heck, had he decided to play another year, it could have been in New England.

Pats reached out to him before he retired.

I would have liked that pickup.

BB would have signed him after he got cut. He was never in the mix.

I met the guy about a 18 months ago at a fundraiser. It was just odd seeing a gifted athlete with a body that still just wasn't quite working right. So glad he got out.

If he had decided to stay in football I could have seen him replacing Hoyer.

I have total respect for him, that recovery was as difficult as it gets, coming back to football showed unreal dedication and toughness.

Not true, bb did have conversations with him before he decided to retire. When you have cam Newton at QB everyone is in the mix.

Refresh my memory, what month did BB sign Glam last year?

And help me out, do teams sign free agents after the draft?

Deeper question: Do teams dip back into the free agency market after the draft to fill holes they failed to fill during the draft?

Who the F thought this guy was going play? More importantly Who the F thought he Should should play?

Ugh. Stupid phone

Scott who?

You are not a credible source to evaluate truth.

That’s what people always say when they are wrong and won’t admit it.

Redirect Notice

I think Alex smith is a credible source of who Alex smith spoke to.

Prior to announcing his retirement from football on Monday, Alex Smith says that teams showed interest in signing him. And one of those teams was the Patriots.

Thats what people say to your face and you accept it.

Your worst nightmare or Batman. Take your pick. Actually, I am a nobody. I just like to call out crap when it stinks.

Yes you are nobody and you know nothing. And of course you were wrong. Again.

Then I am in good company with you again. I appreciate you leading the way to being nothing. You are a great example.

Nah we are nothing alike. You appear to be obsessed with me for some reason though. In any event I made a post explaining to you that you were wrong. Rather than acknowledge it you decided to try to attack the messenger. I posted proof you doubled down. You are clowning yourself.
