Yeah, it's really weird.
Alex Smith played in 174 games and threw 101 receptions. In other words, he played almost exactly 11 years worth of games and threw under 10 interceptions a year for his career. That's exceptional. Alex Smith's INT per game was .58. Peyton Manning for example, was 94. 251 INT's in 265 games, or almost double Alex Smith's ratio. The problem is that Alex got his turnovers that low by taking less chances. Alex Smith's TD per game is 1.14. Manning's? 2.0. Patrick Mahomes? A whopping 2.5. It's the old Marty conundrum. You "won't" lose if you don't turn the ball over but you CAN'T win if you don't score. |

Godspeed Alex. I’ll always appreciate you taking Patrick under your wing in 2017. I know some folks are doubtful about the impact of that — but if there had been drama or if that story was exaggerated, we would have heard about it by now from past players/talk radio (the Favre/Rodgers story comes to mind). Patrick and his dad have always appreciated Alex (and both of them know how important Alex’s support was to the dynamics of a locker room) and I absolutely do, too.

You simply can't make excuses for the guy - he played too careful to ever be a champion. |

Heard a good quote from Phil Simms, "Oh hey he's safe! He doesn't turn the ball over. Yeah, well, he doesn't score points either".

Glad he is retiring.
His final year turned out better than expected. I thought he might actually die. Enjoy your hot wife and family. |
