Alex and this kc core was hosting playoff games and after the titans beat them in kc 18 and then next reg season beat mahomes 19 , I thought Alex might find his way back in but it was over after that mahomes went on a run beat tn in afc championship then sb .rest is history.....
Alex will be doing thr woke tour circuit all year long. The cringe love to hire someone like Alex to come make them feel special as if they arent so weird 🤔
Alex will get paid big time to sell whatever narrative say whatever they pay for. Lol.
I hope not but at my age you see it so many times. Hes prime for selling politics no doubt.
Shout out to Alex Smith man! The type of leg injury he had was INSANE! To come back from that AND play football again?! That's incredible!
was replaced by a half breed
Man Alex could do this full time he was really good.
Let the man retire in peace😂
Oh I bet after this interview.. he’s gonna get offers to do more sports on-air commentary.. he’s very good at it and very likable.
I was thinking the same thing
He probably will. He’s meant for this work.
Yea he has more personality than I expected
Alex should consider doing commentary. Super well-spoken and obviously knows his stuff. Could be special!
He be great.. Mnf fox cbs.. He can be next Romo
I would be surprised if he doesn’t get a spot as an analyst. Idk if he would want the full schedule of announcing though.
Alex Smith will be good at whatever he decides to do. Great person!
I think he could be a great coach too.
Won’t be surprise if Alex smith will do commentary
This was a good interview. Alex Smith seems like a genuinely likable dude.
Well yeah. He comes from a great family
trump 2024
It's why despite not very much post season success most people in kc love him.
Right! Humble stand up guy!
Kansas City loves Alex Smith!
obviously he's special in KC, but I think everybody just loves Alex Smith at this point
I fully agree.
Alex hit this interview out of the park. Fox would be smart to hire him
Replace Skip...
Alex doesn't need soil himself with that kind of work.
I agree. And to go through what he did. A lot of admiration and respect for him.
Alex needs to sign with the Chiefs for a last year as a backup...and retire with a ring...
Rename the comeback player of the year trophy... & would love to see Alex in a gm/personnel role or on TV
Agreed this was more then a comeback
i'm not calling the award anything else other than "Alex Smith's Comeback Player of the Year", no matter what the league does.
the thing is, he was the worst player to ever win the award so it probably wouldn’t be too good of an idea. i always thought it should be named after Eric Berry because he came back from cancer and was an all pro guy
@@David-lf6rr Huge Kansas City fan, Eric Berry was an incredible player.....but not better than Alex Smith. When Eric came back he was not the same, he would have short bursts of greatness.....but was not the same player as before, Smith was, Washington, KC, San Francisco always had a winning record under Smith.
@@donaldseigel4101 i’m a washington fan, alex smith was debatably the worst quarterback we have had this decade. he beat bad teams outside of the steelers but he just got carried by his defense. if we had a good QB that year, we could’ve been a 12 win team at least.
Alex was a big part of putting my Chiefs back on the map. DUDES ALL HEART!!!
I've always been a big Alex Smith fan but when I watched the documentary on his whole injury, the rehab, the infection that almost killed him, I never thought he'd walk let alone play football. Now Alex Smith is my HERO. He has showed us that we are much tougher than we think. I hope he goes into sports media because he is so smart.
I felt the same. Cool Army let him use their facility.
Chiefs fans love our boy! Alex belongs in KC forever man
As a chiefs fan, my dream would’ve been comes back to KC and back up Mahomes. Imagine the roar of appreciation he would get in arrowhead
I want him as qb coach
As a Niners fan, we feel he belongs in SF haha
@@JomerTB You should have kept Alex and dealt Krapernick.
@@MDK2323 That was the handiwork of our trash GM Trent Baalke at the time, who's now the GM for the Jaguars. RIP.
From KC, we love you Alex. So happy to see you suit up after the leg. Enjoy retirement. You’ve all the way earned it
Andy Reid said it best when asked about Smith and Mahomes.
"That kid owes Alex the world"
Mahomes always tells of his respect for Smith and all the things he learned under him.
Both quarterbacks are class acts and KC will always love them both.
Outstanding interview!
This was like the fastest 20 min ever! I could listen to Alex all day
Alex Smith is a straight professional. Love hearing his about experience and stories. Imagine him and Tony Romo in the booth together😂
😆
Two former quarterbacks would be great to listen to. They actually know the game unlike most commentators
The way the two of them could break down a game together would be crazy lol
Nope, can't happen. Due to holy decree of the Football Gods, you can't have that much awesomenesses in one location. The Universe would implode in on itself.
As a skins fan, I’ve never even heard him talk. He has a future in broadcasting if he wants. Also this was a great interview by Colin
just realized i never heard him talk
I’m amped for this next season bro. We’re looking promising
The Skins don't exist, its the "Football team"
*football team fan.
He had a show when he was with you guys
Best interview that Colin has done in years and thats just a compliment to how great this whole interview was on both sides.. Well done
I fully agree.
As a niner fan, he's the reason why I adopted KC and WFT as my second team. I remember very few niner fans being bummed he was being shipped off. With that being said, KC is home for Alex. He was a different QB with Andy Reid. It was so much fun to watch, even when it ended it heartbreak after each season. There's no one person who deserved to win more than Alex.
Alex is a class act all the way.
As a lifelong Niner fan, will always have respect and love for A Smith
I wish I could see Aaron Rogers reaction to Alex Smith saying the Chiefs spoke with him about the possibility of taking Mahomes...
The fact that most of the interview is just Colin listening rather than both people interrupting each other shows his respect for Alex
What a genuinely good dude! Under appreciated in SF. Has a bright future on screen.
The Niners wasted his early years with all their mismanagement.
@@TitanPardy808 thats not what we're talking about that has nothing to do with the fans 🙄
Mahomes may have won us a Super Bowl, but man I just love Alex Smith. He was always my guy. Anyone who remembers where Kansas City was before Coach Reid and Alex arrived will have nothing but love for this man. Such a class act.
$50 VIP tickets before AS11 and Andy Reid. Tickets were so cheap because we were so bad. I remember those days!!
Dudes a winner idc what anybody says
Facts
Of course, he made it to the nfl and made millions!
I’d watch him talk football everyday
Colin always got some great guests.
I was hoping this segment wouldn't end. That was a short 19 1/2 mins for me.
Fantastic. Alex Smith was Thoughtful, insightful, honest and sincere. This is the best interview I have seen in a very long time. Keep up the good work and I hope Alex has all the success he could ever dream of.
Not one person i would like my kids to emmulate more than this dude. What resolve. His entire career.
Thanks to Alex Smith from Kansas City, we still love you here man!
Tears of joy watching this! What a legend. Love his take on empathy in business in regard to the A-Rod situation.
He and Aaron Rodgers look so much alike at quick glance its wild
SAID THE SAME!
Especially their eyes.
Yes, I’ve always felt the same. They will forever be intertwined.
Alex is the man
Alex is really good at this... him and Romo teaming up would be brilliant...
That would be a superteam
Romo would have to quit talking non-stop ;-)
My main man Alex Smith 👍👍👍
That was the shortest 20 minute video I’ve ever watched, what an absolute all time human being. All around amazing interview!
Respect
10:50 did Alex just admit that he was going to be the backup in Jacksonville if he didn’t retire? Trevor Lawrence just missed out on an incredible mentor.
Urban Meyer tried to get him.
I had hoped to see him back with Myer
I would’ve loved to see that
Honest question: Is there a more unanimously admired human in history?
Me
MLK
What a great dude. The planet needs more guys like Alex Smith, straight Up!
Fox, hire this guy immediately.
For reals
I really love Alex Smith so well spoken and I will be forever grateful for what he did for my Chiefs
Almost dying from a leg infection .... came back ... and after 16 seasons, " yeah .. im good."
Alex will always be one of my favorite Chiefs QBs. Awesome guy!
I'm not a Cowherd fan, but this interview is exceptional. It helps that Alex smith is such a well-spoken, intelligent, and likeable man.
I love Alex. He is the QB with the most integrity. Thank you for being good to Patrick. Also if the Packers would have asked Aaron for feedback on drafting another QB to train before his contract is up, honestly do you think he would have been like Alex or thrown a fit? I don't know. But thank you for bringing such a wonderful human being on your show
Aaron is good to his backups. That’s a common misconception
To answer your question about his Rodgers would have reacted, we will never know. GB seems to believe players are meat puppets that do whatever they are told to do as long as they throw enough money at them and then they throw them away. Rodgers seems to think like Alex Smith, show folks a little respect and actually talk to them.
@@markdavis3350 Aren't Alex and Aaron from the same general area too
@@mitchellcorona1757 Yes, he was born in Washington state, but grew up in La Mesa, California.
I can't believe that interview was 20 minutes. I wasn't ready for it to end
As a Chiefs fan I was so glad to hear he was retiring. I don't really idolize sports stars, but I always liked Alex. After what he went through if he would have come back and got hurt it would have been so depressing.
Alex speaks so well, such a good listen
Alex Smith is an amazing person. I respect ✊ him so much for who he is and what he had to overcome. He also helped to make Patrick the QB that he is today. He is a good person.
One of my favorite quarterbacks thank you for helping bring back that winning attitude in KC .Chiefs Kingdom loves you man
Alex is a true HERO AND A GREAT ROLE MODEL FOR OUR YOUNGSTERS. 😭 TEARS OF JOY FOR YOU ALEX AND ELIZABETH.
He seems so happy. Good for him. He truly deserves it.
I agree with most here in that this was the shortest 20min interview EVER!
Alex Smith is a natural.
He should do well in broadcasting If that is what he wants
I love his reaction to the Aaron Rodgers question. I think he really articulated what many feel.
I could listen him talk football and life for hours
Class Act , loved Alex & Urban together in Utah🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈
Me too and I'm a BYU Cougar fan lol. I cheered for then all the time except when playing Cougars
@@gladec3896 totally understand & support you 👍
Chiefs fan here, I love Patrick, but I miss Alex. He was just the kind of guy that you want on your team. To have those two guys be my QB for the last 8 years... man what a run it's been!
Anybody else on board to put Alex smith in the HoF? I get that the stats weren’t there and only 3 pro bowls probably doesn’t make the cut but I think with the comeback on top of a solid career he earned it
Can’t wait for Alex to come home to KC and become the next voice of the Chiefs when Mitch Holtis retires!
Or assistant Coach to Andy Reid under Bienemy.....QB coach!
@@donaldseigel4101 the day Mitch Holtus retires will be a very sad day for Kansas City Chiefs fans... best announcer in the NFL
I don't think Alex would want to be a play by play announcer.
@@TDR-0484 lol he's not even the best historical Chiefs announcer with Kevin Harlan still working
Watched him since college. He has a lot to be proud of.
Imaging that. Treating people with respect still works in this world.
I feel like that was lost these past 4 years. Hopefully people get back to it soon.
@@8urvett Its been lost a lot longer than 4 years, you just only cared for the last 4 years because the idiot in office said stuff you didn't like.
Idk how well Alex could do play by play but if I could get him as maybe a third announcer on Sunday night football I would try to get him on board.
I like this idea, a younger voice wouldn’t hurt haha
I think we would very well play by play he was a QB
Best interview this year and it’s not close. I didn’t want it to end
Great interview. Great dude. The fact he was cool with mahomes coming in for his job says alot. Probably my favorite part. I'm a fan of this dude for sure
Long time KC fan here. Love Alex Smith. I wished so badly he could have won us a super bowl. Either way, I tip my hat to him for helping out with the development of Patrick. Even though Alex wasn't on the team, he had a part in us winning that Super Bowl. You're a stand up guy and very much appreciated by this Chiefs fan. I think Alex can get into broadcasting and/or Coaching and be great at it. Great interview Colin.
Love who Alex Smith is
Chiefs fan, so take this with a grain of salt because thats when i knew him.
Alex Smith was a perennial playoff player. The comeback player award should be renamed. I miss you 11
Great segment. What an amazing guy.
The comeback player award should just be named the Alex smith award of courage
Alex is one Heck of a Gentleman!! Kansas City Love's You Alex!!!
This interview was amazing
Thank you. IMO this is the best interview you have ever done.
Thank you, again.
I watched the documentary and I had tears in my eyes 👀 but it was truly inspiring to see how he never gave up on his passion of football. Alex will make an outstanding GM, he knows how to judge character.
Class Act! Nothing but respect for Alex
This was a great interview. Many thanks to Alex, Colin and The Herd crew for bringing this to us.
Great interview! Colin always shows respect!
Besides football, Alex is a solid man!
Nothing but respect for Alex. He has an even brighter future off the field, I predict.
Awesome interview. Big win for the Herd
Thank you. I love how down to earth Alex is. So proud of him.
The comeback Kid, inspiring fr. Hate how it ended but love where it’s going. He was interviewing for a position here lol.
Alex is one of my favorite NFL players of all time. Genuinely good dude who won more than he lost everywhere he went. Bad luck throughout his career couldn't diminish his positive outlook. Love to see him on TV more.
Oh Captain, My Captain! Love Alex and can't wait see more and hear more from him so eloquent and class act....also wish he was still playing!
Always liked Alex Smith since his KC days. Seeing him walk again is so awesome. Happy he got end it on his terms.
Chiefs fan here Alex. Been a fan of yours ever since you came to KC. You are brave and kind, smart and hardworking. Loved this interview! Good Luck to you. Best wishes and respect🏈
Great interview was hooked .
One of the best guests in The Herd!! Alex should think about doing radio/TV going forward.
Very insightful. Loved this interview.
Alex Smith is a warrior and helping the Chiefs and Mahomes to learn the ropes of QB football.
What a phenomenal interview. Would love Alex to have more opportunities like this.
What a great conversation
Can't help but wonder if Mahomes would be the player he is today without this man guiding him and giving him that motivation to get on the field. Huge Chiefs fan but even bigger Alex Smith fan. Thank you for everything Alex!
Yup Alex was a professional. Very good player. He’s like the football version of Mike Conley or Jrue Holiday
His story is truly inspirational for a lot of us…great interview.
That was a great interview
Would listen to Alex talk all day long. The dude has crazy knowledge and a unique perspective to bring. Hope he’s on more!
Great interview, love Alex! Go Chiefs!
I’m not crying, you’re crying!
Alex Smith is one of my all time favorite QBs. Period. He and Reid made the Chiefs relevant again and Mahomes owes so much of his early success to Alex for mentoring him and being an excellent example of how to be a professional. For the Chiefs, Alex Smith is right up there with Lenny and Mahomes.
Great interview!!
One of my all time favorite Niners, and an absolute class-act. Cheers, Alex.
