My feeling is that he won't. Reid was more inclined to trade McNabb than extend him when it was clear he was done as an NFL starter.
Smith toed that line this year. Usually when NFL QBs are about ready to fall off a cliff, a small decline is followed by a precipitous drop the next season. Doesn't always happen to guys at the same age. Some can stave it off til their late 30s, others it happens around 33/34.
We saw a drop in TDs, a major drop in rushing yards, an uptick in turnovers, and two more concussions throw into the mix.
33-year old Alex, a step slower, a tick more cautious, thinking more of his health and family than glory and football....it's coming.
Reid will see the writing on the wall and move on. Especially with a QB far less productive than McNabb ever was.
