My Niners did him dirty the whole time he was there. Glad he's a peace with his decision. A true inspiration
Yea he's a piece of something
He threw 1 td 11 picks that Aint nobody fault but his lmfao
@@thegreat9481 had a trash team back then
Did they?
Got stuck with one of, if not the worst, coach in franchise history with Mike NoWin. Then the franchise doubled down and hired Dingleberry..who was still miles ahead of NoWin, as pathetic as that sounds. Had good coaches with Harbaugh and Reid and showed what he was capable of.
First pick in the draft, faced adversity after adversity in his career and never handled it with anything but class, toughness and positive attitude. Always was a team guy no matter what, never made it about himself.
Great career and way to rep the pacific coast conference.
Bro.. Sports journalism in your future.. Couldn't have worded it better myself.
*Nothing but class
Careful there bud, you've got it backwards.
@@Joescotterpuss it would be nothing but class if I said "he handled it with nothing but class". Saying he never handled it with nothing but class is a double negative. Double negatives make grammar sound terrible. Saying he never handled it with anything but class is not a double negative
I've never been more impressed with a man . What he went through and came back and played .
Yea he went threw hell came out of it. Played the game he loved one more year and proved to himself he is a great man.
Should watch some Jocko podcasts then mate
Adam Shaw okay my initial reaction was what? I get that you are saying whatever has inspirational stories i guess but dude, Alex Smith is one that should be on the show? if that's true
I truly think he should be a hall of famer at some point just cause he legit came back from that injury. Not saying 1st ballot but at some point in time I don’t see how he couldn’t be voted in. He’s also produced well everywhere he played. Best of luck to smith in his post football career
@@j644 oh dont get me wrong massive respect for the guy and the hill he climbed to get back there, and to go 5 and 1 is incredible. I just think to say you've never been more impressed seems to be a bit of a stretch given what some people sacrifice thats all
As a lifelong 49ers fan, I always knew he was tough as nails and had character beyond reproach.
Admirable and inspirational.
Too bad he had no Exceptional Talent! We can give put him ion the HOF for being a Good Guy!!!? lololololol He Suuucked!!!
@@castortroysfaceoffsportsca9012 Always one troll
Always been a huge fan of Alex smith. Loved him out of college and he’ll go down as one of the most inspiring stories of the nfl. Congrats Alex. Enjoy your retirement.
To paraphrase Jim Cornette, if Alex Smith becomes a serial killer we’re all in trouble. That level of determination is crazy. To come back from what he came back from is beyond inspiring
Wish he woulda been able to make a run. Mad love and respect for Alex.
KEEP POUNDING!
He made a couple w/ the 49ers, Harbaugh never should have traded him... Alex had the last laugh w/ the Chiefs though!
Not worth it tbh. Alex doesn't need to play football anymore. He has nothing left to prove. He doesnt need a sb for all the thirsty sports fans fixated on championships. He's made the greatest football comeback ever that's all he needed.
Same here... one of the best people on the planet
@@PeterParkerwon not to mention the cheifs kept him another year because of how good he was still playing. I believe if not for that leg injury he'd still make a few more runs
He's the best quarterback washington has had in a looong time.
Let me introduce u to Taylor HeineGOAT
Yeah, at least since Brad Johnson.
@@clutchcairns5844 honestly they should give heinicke an oppopportunity as a starter
Ryan Fitzpatrick is better than him
@@pikapika8926 totally agree 👍
They should name the comeback player award after him. "the alex smith comeback player of the year"
That's facts.
Although Adrian Peterson ranks up there.
@@donsolos - He also almost broke Eric Dickerson's single season rushing record the year he came back. You dummy!
@@islandbee but he didnt and he also didnt have to go through nearly as much as alex smith who literally gave aaron donald a piggy back ride
No
The greatest comeback ever
Doesn’t get much more inspirational than his story what absolute resolve to even try to get back let alone achieve it.
They should name the come back player of the year award after him.....
@@broadwayij I agree
It was, especially the horrific injury he had.
Still wish he got a ring though.
Alex Smith overrated
Lifelong Chiefs fan and I love Alex Smith, he brought us out of the dark ages to a winning football team.
The comeback player of the year award needs to be named after him
This.
Yes
6 Touchdowns to 8 interceptions
@@lockdown1776 still made it back to the field after almost dying and threw more td’s than your and I combined
@@aloyalspacemarine5761 Still performed like dogshit
As amazing his rehab was, I hate that it’ll be the only focus of his career. Man was a baller everywhere he went. That Saints game is one of the greatest postseason 60 minutes you’ll see, plus he was a massive stepping stone for KC from basement dweller to SB.
“Alex, your injury nearly cost you your life!”
“I didn’t hear no bell!”
*Goes 5-1 in last six games*
While tossing 6 touchdowns to 8 interceptions
@@lockdown1776 You simply cannot overlook what he did for that team. Before he was given the starting job they were downright tanking. After that they were playoff contenders. Stats aren't always the most important thing when looking into the overall quality of a player.
@@nathanhosea489 So it doesn’t matter if someone tosses like 14 TDs to 23 INTs as long as they finish with a winning record like 8-4?
@@lockdown1776 Well for me if he's not holding his team back, then yeah. Did Alex hold the Redskins back? He ain't Baker Mayfield.
@@nathanhosea489 Alex Smith played in a dogshit division. Their defense was 4th in the league simply because the offenses they played in the NFC Least were dogshit. Alex Smith was carried. You’re not supposed to win a division with a losing record.
He is the ultimate under dog story: Started as a backup QB at a small school. One of the first on the run passers, leads them to a bowl game win! Gets drafted to a horrible team w/ multiple coaching & coordinator changes every year. Finally gets a competent HC, barely misses the SB, gets a concussion the next season & Harbaugh doesn’t let him finish his SB playoff run, gets traded to the Chiefs which was a horrible franchise, creates a winning culture & makes them contenders, including their 1st playoff win since the 1960s. Then, has his best year so far, leads the league in passer rating & almost every statistical category (including deep balls which haters thought he couldn’t do.) & Again, right when the pieces are there & everything is coming together, he gets traded to another bad team WFT. He creates a winning culture (again) at WFT, starts a playoff run, & turns around the franchise. Then he has a life threatening injury, comes back & leads WFT to the playoffs. As for stats: Lead the league in passer rating & QBR many seasons, 19th all time in rushing yards, best TD-INT ratio, top 25 all time in passing yards (right above HOF QB Jim Kelly), top 5 winning percentage in the last decade, top 25 all time for career completion %, the list goes on! This man was never set up to win & always made it happen! That’s the most impressive to me. No one likes to talk about situations, but the great QBs of his generation were set up for success & Alex never was, he had to really fight for it at every step.
Exactly! People forget how much this man had to overcome since the beginning of his career! He’s also considered one of the best college QBs of all time for a reason, that season w/ the Utes was so special.
@@singerinthemaking112 Exactly
Thank you for this.
It is an underdog story, though I’m sure not getting a ring is a tough one to swallow.
@@RB01.10 Yup, his dad said he felt a super bowl was stolen from him when he was replaced after reporting a concussion w/ the Niners. (After barely losing the AFC championship before & starting the playoff run)
I wish there would be a spot for people like Alex Smith in the Hall of Fame
Honestly one of the most inspiring players I’ve seen. He even took the redskins to the playoffs last year.
R-WORD ALERT
Thank you for calling them the redskins
@@yourbrotherjoeproductions9326 stfu 🤡
@@isaiahdanforth803 you can dislike it, but that ain’t their name anymore.
Sadly
Nothing but respect for Alex Smith. From a Packer fan he’s forever tied to Aaron Rodgers. A class act
So you're giving respect to all players that failed in the nfl? All 1st round busts? All 1st overall busts? He's a multi millionaire with no talent, what's to respect?
@@america1st721 thank you for asking. I had a great day. Talk to you soon, love Daddy!
@@america1st721 And what have you achieved with your life, hater?
@@eclectica1 2 Great kids, a house, 2 cars, 500k stock portfolio and a hot girlfriend. What's your point?
I wanted him to go to the Chiefs for one season
Guy’s already been on the Chiefs
Why?
He might come be our QB coach
@@gregoryhill6798 for retirement like a good amount of players do. Sign with the team that drafted him.
@@jayswat6497 the 49ers drafted him tho
As a Kansas City fan I can honestly say I owe the happiest day of my life to that guy sure Patrick Mahomes is the one who won it all but Alex Smith is the one who drove the bus 8/10ths of the way there I will always be a fan.
Wish he got picked up one more year. This kinda hurts, and he deserved SO MUCH BETTER
I’m a Chiefs fan and my game day jersey is an Alex Smith jersey. How he handled his exit in both SF and KC in addition to coming back from the injury should be inspiring to all.
Alex Smith and his wife would be a perfect house flipping couple for the DIY network
As a chiefs fans, hes an all timer for us and help establish what we are today. Smith took us from 1-15 to 14-2 basically overnight
I just realized. Every team Alex Smith played for had some shade of red, white, and yellow as their primary colors.
As a Chiefs fan I thank him for stabilizing our team and getting us to be playoff football team until we found our franchise QB.
This. Will forever be in kc history as the qb we needed in order to save a sinking ship along with Reid. Not even upset he never got us a super bowl because we finally had more winning seasons and even play off wins.
Def he’s got a special place in my heart as a chiefs fan
Though his time in Washington was short, I think he had a truly positive impact to the team. I see him as being a really good coach. Even start as a QB coach...he (I think) could be a great teacher to young QBs out there.
Even If Big Ben went 16-0. Alex IMO would still get it.
1) He had 17 DAMN surgeries, then got a really bad disease on the tissue in his leg as far as I could remember.
2) He even went 5-1 so he played pretty well
Whoever voted for Big Ben for comeback player of the year should lose their voting privileges permanently
That’s the problem the award is turning more into a pity party at this point then anything else then an actual award.
@@optricks2469 He beat Ben's undefeated Steelers at PIT in a second half comeback win on national television. On what planet does Ben deserve CPOTY over him?
@@bilwit He deserves it on the planet called Earth because he was a better player coming back from his injury. Ben Roethlisberger had better Yards Per Game, Yards Per Completion, Touchdown Percentage, Interception Percentage, QBR, and Passer Rating then Alex Smith.
He went 5-1 while tossing for 6 touchdowns to 8 interceptions. Big Ben went 12-4 with 33 touchdowns to 10 interceptions. There’s a difference!
People don't realize that we would be speaking pretty differently about Washington if Alex didn't suffer that crazy injury. They were above everyone else by a wide margin in that division.
Imagine if Alex wasn't part of a dysfunctional organization for his first 6 years.
I think he would be a no doubt hall of famer.
I say this all the time. Dude would've beasted hardcore if the Niners were able to actually do something with him.
Damn. He's an amazing quarterback just could never catch a break
Comeback player of the year award has gotta be renamed alex smith award
What a Legend came back from a leg injury I am honestly happy for him as a chiefs fan I wish nothing but the best for him.
Great career. Hell of a player and a hell of a GOOD MAN
I hope he's still somehow involved with the league, a coaching position, a pregame show, or in a booth.
I don't think he really has the personality for TV or commentary.. But he might really make a good coach
If that is what he wants to do, or just ride off into the sunset and enjoy the rest of life with family. Not a bad gig either :-)
He may be the chiefs qb coach
Alex Smith's story is cemented as the prime example of humble perseverance. Such a high-class individual!
My man, have a great retirement. Thank you for all the great memories. That run back in 2011 and putting a whooping on them saints in the divisional, unforgettable. Love you man!!!
Respect the hell out of that man ✊🏽❤️ thanks Alex
Would have been cool if he became a mentor for Lawrence and for him to reunite with Urban again
Chiefs Kingdom will forever be in debt to this man for what he did while he was in KC
For myself, I'm thankful for all the great years in Kansas City. Everything he did in San Francisco built his legacy, and in Washington he just cemented his legend. 1st vote HoF for sure!
Name the Comeback Player of the Year Award after Alex Smith. What a legend to comeback like that.
I really wish the niners didn’t do him dirty but honestly I’m just glad he was able to prove them wrong and continue to be awesome.
Congrats to Alex Smith on a helluva career and tough as nails ! Enjoy your retirement and finally getting time with your family !
Had the pleasure to watch him and urban up close living in utah. The two years they were together are arguably two of the top 4 or 5 college football seasons in the history of our state. Wish it worked out better for him in San Francisco
What a unit. If he doesn't get a gold jacket, he'll still be known as the best comeback story ever.
He’s not hof like at all lol stop it
@@thegreat9481 hes got better numbers than Aikmen
@@FFScooterr that dude be hatin on Alex smith
Like hes never been through the surgeries and rehab just to play a Sport
He probably sits home all day playing on his console😂😂😂
There’s like multiple comments where he was hatin on smith
Like I don’t like or hate Alex smith but bc of what he’s been through is what makes me like what he has done
@@jaival8224 I can’t imagine what you look like if you’re on youtube making up lies on someone “hating” on Alex Smith lol who does that? Dude aint HOF
@@FFScooterr Aikman wouldn’t be a hall of famer if he was drafted in 99 instead of 89. When Aikman retired he had the 3rd best Completion percentage of all time (3000 attempts minimum) today that number is 28th. You gotta remember era.
He probably wont make it to the Hall of Fame but dammit they should rename the comeback player of the year award after him.
he earned the right to use Kirk Gibson's phrase: I'm not a hall of famer, but I have my hall of fame moments
He’s going to be a personal coach for athletes rehabbing from injury.
‘Hey, I brought an NFL team to the playoffs after 17 surgeries, your acl is no excuse. Now get back on that threadmill NOW!’
As a 9ers fan I wanna say THANK YOU ALEX FOR THE MEMORIES. THE BAD AND GOOD ONES
Ya it was great to get patty mahomes but losing Alex was a tragedy. What an amazing example of guts and heart from a classy guy. Much respect from your forever fans in KC ✌🏻
Especially coming back after that horrific injury a few years back.
He played well, though it is a shame he never got a ring.
Urban myer already knows how to talk to rich players. He coached at Ohio state university
EL OH friggin EL!
Greatest Game Manager of the Modern Era! Greatest Comeback Story EVER!
What a career! 💯
Your getting ahead of yourself with this one
Styles is the greatest of the modern era when it comes to eating Doritos on a couch in his moms basement!
Perhaps one of the most underrated quarterbacks in NFL history. Bless ya, Alex.
Chiefs fan born and raised. loved the man great career
God bless Alex and his family. Great inspiration
Alex Smith is truly a great man and a great player
Most underrated/underappreciated QB I've seen. Niners did him dirty and KC I would say to a degree. People always get lost in the flashy aspects of the game and think of that as the end-all-be all. Dude was solid in fundamentals and was better than most and even the flashy mindset of today from fans and media.
One hell of a run Alex Smith, thank you!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thank you Alex!!!! Bring him on for an interview Pat!!!
Thanks Alex!
That man is going to go on and do great things. Such an inspirational person what he has been thru and always has been positive.
Big Ben getting his trophy stolen 😂, I think people noticed the 4 interceptions he threw in a game and people said to themselves comeback to the worst qb towards the end of a season
Alex Smith was the bridge between my father and I, a rather shaky relationship.
But he was the catalyst between us in bonding a great father-son relationship. The great times we had together watching Alex play every Sunday is unbeatable.
Alex has been a staple in our family for over a decade now. We have Alex themed everything all over the house; signed Utah helmet, Alex decal on the mirror for some reason, Alex calendar month from 2017, KC and Washington banners (I’m still kinda pissed at SF) , and some other miscellaneous items.
We followed his career since Utah, as we lived in Orem, Utah while he played college, and I can’t believe it’s been 16 years since. I will surely miss watching him and it’s a pretty damn sad day for me.
Thank you, Alex.
I really wish he could’ve started in SB XLVII
Thank you Alex
Love that guy. Best of luck to him and his family. KC still loves you man.
You are the man Alex Smith! 🏈
Stories like his bring a man to tears
I think the cool thing about Smith is how much he took Mahomes under his wing as a rookie and got him up to speed. Patrick Mahomes has talked about how much Alex Smith helped him out in that first year and it probably set the tone for him to step up as a leader when it was his time. Smith wasn't going to teach him to throw the long ball, be athletic, or read a play book, but he did show him how much time and effort it takes to succeed as an NFL QB
When Alex Smith first came to the skins before his injury, he did a weekly show called the Alex Smith Report so I don’t think TV is out of the question for him
Much respect to Alex Smith.
Good luck Alex!!! You are a inspiration!
Time to go rewatch that playoff game (bountygate game) against the Saints. Greatest game I’ve ever seen!
Smith retired through force. No one wanted him on the field again. He was there because of contract obligations and Redskin quarterback injury and ineptitude, along with NFC ineptitude. And despite everything, he still managed to be the best QB on the roster. It was the perfect storm for a miracle comeback story and Smith and circumstances made it possible. I promise you that he wanted to get back on the field again. If he's retiring, then it's because no more than half the league told him that he has no chance to see the field again.
Nothing but respect for him ...I saw that injury happen in real time , I said to my buddy that he will never play football again...returning from that , however briefly , showed heart and toughness
Currently playing Madden 11 with him on the Texans. He got 2 MVPs and 1 SB MVP, 2 SBs rings 😭
Madden 11? Talk about throwback lol
He gets a salute from me, the return is amazing
As a Chiefs Fan, I can say that Alex Smith is still highly respected in Kansas City. We still remember all he's done for the Chiefs and Mahomes.
As a Broncos fan, this man is a legend.
Such an under appreciated QB for sure one of the best
As a raiders fan it was my pleasure to play against him. Thanks for inspiring me
Hell of a career!!!
Gotta be a strong willed person to go thru what he went thru and bounce back and play football again. Respect to Alex and hope he enjoys retirement with his family !
He fought the good battles, and the HARDEST battles. Legend as far as I'm concerned.
Glad I got my Washington jersey this year. I will keep it forever
This man can walk into retirement with his head held high. He is a perfect example of determination and dedication. Name one other person who would come back from what he did and prove he can still play in the NFL.
Edit after a couple of years you'll see him back in football in some capacity. He'd make a great coach IMO think about what he went through in SF. How many coaches and systems did he go through there?
I have respect for this man and his family I love the hard work. Great example of what to stride for.
honestly had no idea that Urban was the coach of Jacksonville lol so much for him coming to Michigan lol
Such a good dude, i loved him being in KC, helped bring my chiefs back from obscurity
I'm glad when pat said he has been to rehab he specified for his knee because that deff wasn't the kind I was thinking for pat :P
Alex Smith is one of the most stand up and strong minded, humble men I can think of at this moment. God Bless him🙏🏽
A true football player!!!!
The Alex Smith comeback player of the year award has a nice ring to it. After the injury he had just playing again was incredible
his story is incredible. to somehow make it back to the football field after what he went through. honestly insane. shouldnt have been possible.
Leaving after you get comeback player of the year Crazy .
I'm truly happy he could end his career on his terms and not the injuries terms
Tim Tebow to Jacksonville. Lol!!! (Satire asf)
Alex smith, the comeback better than super bowl 51.
At least he got to play again. I'm sorry his career ended in this manner. I hope he can get into management/coaching somewhere.
😢👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Great job Alex
