Alex Smith has always been a class act. He's just an all-around winner. As a Chiefs fan, Alex's legacy at KC is one of the reasons they are the team they are today.
Alex your the man I’m a Niner fan and I always been following you.. one a Niner always a Niner .. your a great leader and a great QB and this year your the come back player of the year!!
As a Chiefs fan, I was very happy for him and I somewhat expected it. He is a fighter. He does have the ability to somehow win games that he and the team do not play well in.
@@richardcranium5801 Yeah, Wentz was trash. Smith almost had his leg amputated and missed 2 years so I’m not saying he sucks. He did suck, but it wasn’t his fault and he was good before his leg got snapped in half.
@@eltennis lol, she admitted it in her words but different terms. Go watch the interviews. She said she didn't like him when she met him but her friend told her he got drafted #1 and he became attractive to her.
Alex Smith is an amazing inspiration. I watched the ESPN documentary about him with my 4 year old(at the time), my little boy still talks about Alex Smith by name.
Alex, I'm a Tom Brady fan, but brotha I was pullin for you to get through this injury, which I've followed very closely. Inspirational is all I can say. You and your family are in my prayers, bro!!
I agree I watched the documentary I think it was ESPN but anyway Alex had the whole process from beginning and end documented it made me nauseous watching it and he came as close as you can come to getting it amputated.
Whether or not he ever suits up again, he is a hero to Millions in the best possible way. Thanks for the best story of 2020....and the NFC East championship.
Let me just say.... Alex is right up there with Kevin Ware, when I saw Kevin go down, everyone in the arena, went dead silent and into tears, myself included..... The training staff tried to shield him from seeing the severity of his injury, even his teammates around him.... The look of shock and hurt on Coach K and Coach P, and the aftermath of Kevin’s injury, is something you never forget and it was the same with Alex’s injury as pictures shown after the infection was taking over his leg, I’ve never before, before Alex, seen anyone comeback from a near debilitating leg injury like this.....
Never ever underestimate a man's will its just not a fairy tale some people just have the will power determination tenacity and mentality to overcome anything a skins fan for 50 years but always liked Alex in Kansas city and with the niners great story 👍 in this awful horrendous year
The physicality of football is an awesome feeling. Physical output of aggression or passion or life struggles put together play after play. Miss hitting people, anyone that played or loved football knows..
@@LMP51349 For what he went through all those years before that, he deserved to keep that starting job. It wasn't right letting Kap keep it once he was healthy again.
@@kfw9257 That year it was the right decision since Kaep could throw the ball down the field and he could make throws and plays that Alex could not. Still the Niners made the biggest mistake in sports by not taking Rodgers in 2005.
@@LMP51349 Rodgers probably would've been ruined by the bad coaching and mismanagement that Alex had to endure. He threw the ball well enough for the Niners to make it to the SB and probably could've won it. Kaepernick fizzled out and Alex has stayed consistently solid.
man i love this dude......i just hope hope hope he can get himself a ring at some point....theh comeback he made was incredible just unfortunate that he got injured and didnt get to finish that play off run.
One of my favorite athletes of all time. As a die-hard 49ers fan, I never felt that Alex got a fair shake, even when things were going well, the team didn't fully appreciate this guy as a player and as a person. On the field, I thought he was at his best a very efficient player, with some really good athleticism to go with it. Off the field, he was one of the smartest and classiest acts to ever play the game. This final chapter showed us all that the guy also has the guts and heart of a champion. As many have stated, the Comeback Player of the Year award should from this point forward be named, "The Alex Smith Comeback Player of the Year Award". Best of luck in whatever you decide to do Alex! Thanks for always giving us your best on and off the field.
I'm sorry for your injury that happen when I was a kid at that time I seen the recap I was going through some changes myself I lost my oldest brother Cortez now I see your story again I'm sorry take care you and family
He’s made about $200 million playing in the NFL at this point, having been injured for over half his career lol, and that wife; he’s a winner in my book.
I still wear my Chiefs #11 jersey on gameday, and it doesn't need explaining to KC fans. He broke the 21 year playoff win drought. He helped to prepare Mahomes to take over the offense. The Chiefs wouldn't be who they are today without him. His wife's Instagram is amazing, and she has a great sense of humor too.
One thing is that Alex Smith loves the sport a lot. He is a class act and inspirational to many players who also love game but too afraid to go back in after that kind of injury
Here's what makes Alex Smith the comeback player of the year - He almost died - His leg was almost amputated - The injury looked as bad as Joe Theisman's injury, probably worse - He was projected to never play football again - He led Washington to the division title That's enough, idc what Ben Roethlisberger did, Alex Smith is unanimous CPOY
No doubt if this is your last time playing bro I have the up most respect to go out there and continue to play the game that u love athletes are probably some of the craziest ppl we know in this world but it’s all worth it in the end to play the game u love the most
People jus don’t understand, when you really love something the drive keeps you going. No matter what you don’t want to stop, even if that means putting your life at risk.
Amazing comeback story, for sure, just from a medical perspective, and also so moving to see how deeply his wife understands why he needs to attempt the comeback. Lucky fella.
I like alex and his story but he was never a top qb ever in his career, he was drafted no.1 in front of aaron Rogers he never lived up to the standard of greatness.
Glade he was even able to get back on his feet again, but getting back to where he was before that injury is going to be a huge challenge for sure. After watching how he struggled with his leg I have my doubts he can actually do it. If those issues he is having with his leg doesn't improve soon I think it may be better for him to just retire, whenever he takes a hit or gets sacked everyone just takes a deep breath hoping he is ok and will get up. I think Ron Rivera will make all of the QB's on the roster compete for the job of starter next season, that is if they don't draft or get a a new QB in free agency in 2021.
Yeah I think Alex will hang it up at least I hope so. He's done enough to get come back player of Year and I'm sure Hollywood will soon be working on a movie.
Mahones also said he learned a ton from a guy who was in the playoffs with the 49ers. Kap said the same thing. People thought he was a bust. Now the 49ers should have taken Rodgers without question. But smith turned out to be a good quarterback. Had some down years early but a solid nfl qb nonetheless
@@Watermelon_Man92 I wish I got to play in a Super Bowl. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride, I guess. Again, an honor to somehow people think I deserve any kind of credit with these three guys. But again, flattering.
I'm absolutely no fan of the DC Racial Slurs. But I have to give all fair and due proper respect to Dan Snyder [and owner that I absolutely loathe] for the way the whole organization has handled the Alex Smith situation. It was a moral and ethical thing to do and I offer a respectful tip of an old cavalryman's Stetson to them. As for Alex and the Smith family, I hope you have health and success. Watching you walk out on the field versus the Rams was one of those 'yeah, there really are Football Gods' moments. And I'm not the only football fan to see a direct correlation between Alex and Dak Prescott, either.
Alex Smith is an amazing person, I wish he would put his immense intellect to use and retire, enough is enough and he has had more than his fair share.
Understand but the heart to continue is unparalell. He could have lost his leg due to infections and metal rods. I like what Kronk said week before their game. At start of playoffs we are 0 0.
Dude is a warrior for sure but he needs to tell himself "he did it" and retire and never play again. He's a young man and he's got a long life ahead of him. He needs to live it in the healthiest way possible from here on out. Good luck to him 💪
They should re-name the comeback player of the year award to the “Alex Smith comeback player of the year award”
Could not agree more.
Absolutely!!
Yes please!
Perfect. 👌🏼
Not as if they need kick another player name off. Absolutely. Someone should write the NFL.
Alex Smith has always been a class act. He's just an all-around winner. As a Chiefs fan, Alex's legacy at KC is one of the reasons they are the team they are today.
Hope mahomes plays but only if healthy. I'm niner fan.
100% correct friend.
True that
Chiefs fan here. Love Alex as much as Mahomes
Yeah Chiefs native if you don't love Alex you don't love chiefs origination. Alex woke up a kingdom that was in a deep sleep.
Alex your the man I’m a Niner fan and I always been following you.. one a Niner always a Niner .. your a great leader and a great QB and this year your the come back player of the year!!
As a lifelong Washington fan this was one of the greatest achievement for him to come back and lead them to Division title and playoffs.
I mean, he was awful and the team didn’t even go .500, but yeah, they somehow won 5 of his 6 starts.
As a Chiefs fan, I was very happy for him and I somewhat expected it. He is a fighter. He does have the ability to somehow win games that he and the team do not play well in.
He didn’t light it up but he certainly was not awful.. did you watch Carson wentz play this year? Now THAT was awful.
@@richardcranium5801 Yeah, Wentz was trash. Smith almost had his leg amputated and missed 2 years so I’m not saying he sucks. He did suck, but it wasn’t his fault and he was good before his leg got snapped in half.

KC will forever cheer for you, Alex!
That's a class statement!
@@freemanisnow he’s the reason for having over 10 wins in evry season he was in with the chiefs ! 💛❤️
@Deci well it was decent season ... just unlucky we lost key players due to injuries
Alex is hot garbage n could never win us a big game.
@@mikehoncho8896 so it was Alex fault for the losses in playoffs ? With over 300+ yard each game he played in playoff with chiefs and 2+ td passes ?
Get well soon alex and good luck in the new season
Judging by his wife, he’s winning whether he plays another snap or not.
She a gold digger, cheerleader to housewife of a millionaire
She loves money
@@lukelee3 gotta love those wholesome uplifting youtube comments

Always loved Alex in a 49er uniform. It's great to still have him play. Stay safe.
Wife is a slam dunk. Can’t go wrong.
his wife tho... man he is a lucky guy
Lovely couple. Beautiful family. Incredible comeback story. Thank you, Alex, for giving us joy and hope.
Amen!
Name the dam award after this man already!!! He's won on and off the field!!
Thank you Alex Smith for showing us what is possible.
@Thunderbolt Probably because you need to get in the weight room.

Hero? How so?
Absolutely amazing. You have to be some kind of tough to come back like he did. 99% of people in his situation wouldn't stand a chance.
That's my quarterback
Thanks for everything Alex! Here after the retirement.
What a 1st class guy. You can just tell. Lovely supporting wife and family. Awesome!

A full off season, strengthening the legs, then back under centre for Washington, happy days, HTTR till I die
Alex smith kinda looks like arron rogers, in a way.
Butch Harlmon Aaron Rodgers looks like him in a way
With darker hair and moustache, in a helmet...a dead ringer!
You can tell them apart by the way they play. Rogers is a hall of Famer. Smith, not so much.
he does! just noticed that lol!
talks like him too
Amazing athlete with amazing positive attitude. Great story and comeback
He’s made about $200 million playing in the NFL at this point, having been injured for over half his career lol, and that wife; he’s a winner in my book.
He’s also been a three time pro bowler as well as a franchise qb. Obviously not a hall of famer but a great career

It's amazing see him up and around I didn't think he would try and play again after that kind of injury is he sure that he wants to do this though🤔
POV: You're here from GQ
One thing is that Alex Smith loves the sport a lot. He is a class act and inspirational to many players who also love game but too afraid to go back in after that kind of injury

- He almost died
- His leg was almost amputated
- The injury looked as bad as Joe Theisman's injury, probably worse

Beautiful on the inside too based on the documentary and interviews I have heard. She was the backbone of his comeback.

Good going Alex 👍👍
I never knew that Mahomes was your backup quarterback when you were with the chiefs
Only for his rookie year. Probably the best decision next to drafting him the chiefs made in regards to Mahomes.
I honestly think that Alex Smith the best mentor in the NFL
Alex Smith mentored three quarterbacks that eventually went to a Super Bowl. (Patrick Mahomes, Colin Kaepernick, and Nick Foles.)
Mahones also said he learned a ton from a guy who was in the playoffs with the 49ers. Kap said the same thing. People thought he was a bust. Now the 49ers should have taken Rodgers without question.

Alex is a champ. He will always be a Chief in my mind. O'Donnell, nice interview, nice change up from your normal Democrat hackery.
He almost died from stanky leg.
Alex should be a model or lead role actor. He’s very good looking.
Alex Smith came back and we won 4 games stright.
