Alex Smith is the Comeback Player of the Decade. Not year, decade.
Of all time, I don’t know anything that compares to this
@@bachira7651 true
No doubt
@@bachira7651 berry
They should make the award about him
They should rename the Comeback Player of the Year award after him for this.
Without. A. Single. Person. Doubt.
You know what? I actually agree. We cannot let people forget this incredible feat.
You know it sounds crazy, but I agree I mean to comeback from that and make your team head to the playoffs I mean... that’s unheard of in the NFL.

They absolutely need to do that
“The Alex Smith award goes to : ALEX SMITH”
LOL
If he isn’t the Comeback Player of the Year I’m suing the NFL
they should name the shit alex smith award
@@Mattluvsminors They really should consider it
You should be happy
It's so inspiring to watch this! When I was 12, I broke my femur and severed my femoral artery in a sledding accident. My artery was patched with an artery from my ankle, and they set my femur with a rod and screws. I've got so many scars from the surgeries and the month I spent in the hospital afterwards, but am fully functional now! Cheering for Alex Smith this weekend!
So glad you're ok ❤️
❤️
Congrats on a successful recovery
cheers man i also broke my femur about 1 and a half now years, still able to perform pretty good
Hope he plays well this weekend! A real inspiring story
He’s not playing 😭
L
In KC, we joked about him being the GOAT, but after this, he really is the GOAT.
tbh, yall would have won a super bowl with him anyways. but its awesome yall have mahomes now
@@vaibhavh599 yeh mahomes is insane as well as I agree with you about Alex Smith could of got us a super bowl win.
No matter what happens from here on out, Alex Smith is a legend.
See, this is why it's hard for me to watch injury recaps. The Alex Smith injury is literally one of the worst injuries in SPORTS HISTORY. Man is amazing.
This is just absolutely absurd. I can’t believe the perseverance that Alex has went through all of 2019. There should be absolutely no person that denies that he deserves the Comeback Player of The Year, heck, Comeback Player of the Decade! #ComebackPlayerAlexSmith.
You know it’s an amazing feat & we’re in an insane era of Technology in medicine when it excites & wows this dude! Lol “They took his quad an put it in front of his shin bone... They took his QUAD & put it in front of his SHIN BONE 😲
As a Washington fan I can’t even express enough how happy I am he is healthy rather than just good at football
The football team don’t deserve the playoffs period
Same here from a Chiefs fan. I'm sure 49ers fans can chime in with some support too.
@@Kaden4429 Salty Giants fan what’s new. Giants are 6-10 and deserve the playoff spot less. I’m glad I got to watch that game yesterday because it was close. If it was the Giants it would have been over in the first quarter.
@@igotbanned5697 learn football little boy giants should have went 10-6 because of poor reffing they only won 6. Giants have better talent at every position and have the leagues best coach giants would have won last night as well
@@Kaden4429 Yeah no way bud. Your football IQ tells me you are most likely in middle school. Giants suck and will continue to be trash because there offensive line is trash. There defense is worse, and the Giants should have been 5-11 but beat the cowboys because of bad reffing. Go home kid
comeback player of the 21st century, or ever
Name the comeback player of the year award after him now!!!
Thank for the great video you inspired me to learn so much and helped me through some tough times. Keep making videos can’t wait for the next one.
You're kicking the new year off strong doc!
Love the rapid pace and immediacy of your posts.
Wow amazing ... thank you for sharing !
Truly inspiring story! Hope he remains overall healthy and plays well. As a current Physical Therapy student, I really appreciate your content, Dr! Able to learn and challenge myself in real life examples with your explanations is great!
No one:
Dr. Brian Sutterer: THEY.TOOK.A.PIECE.OF.HIS.QUAD.AND.PUT.IT.IN.HIS.SHIN.
In all seriousness thank you for the great content I’ve been watching for awhile!
He did in fact say those words. Good on you for noticing.
Damn, I was here when you had about 44k subs. Keep doing what you do!
As a lifelong Chiefs fan, I wanna see him make it to the SB and play against Patrick Mahomes. Just so he can say he beat his protégé, or he lost to the kid he helped trained. I pray Alex can beat TB and Brady, and make it further than a first round exit
Great stuff (as usual), Brian!
2:34 Even the doctor is amazed!!!
Genuine excitement!
What a great video!
Great piece Doc keep it up
Honestly, not only does this story reflect beautifully on Alex as a man with sheer determination and courage but it really shows how fascinatingly complex and wonderful medicine is! S/o to his medical team seriously
It doesn't matter what team you are rooting for. Evertime Alex gets hit we all hold our breath till he gets up. Amazing story
Reiterating what others are saying in the comments-Make the “Alex Smith comeback player of the year award” a thing. This award deserves to have his name permanently on it.
look at Alex Smith man, so inspirational
That's MY quarterback, and I am damn proud of him.
Before the season, I remember seeing Alex celebrate outside with his foot flopping downward and thought he wasn’t ready for sure, but thanks for explaining now.
The things plastic surgeons can do amazes me. I had my arm degloved in a car accident and all things considered it looks pretty damn good, all thanks to plastic surgery. It is incredible
God damn that’s no joke I hope you’re doing well, anyone who’s seen degloving never wants to again
@@liampowers8570 hahaha yeah thanks man, it's not too great to live through either
Degloved? Is that about as hardcore and gross as it sounds?
@@WillAyeAmNot Yes. Don't look it up. Just trust me, don't do it.
@@WillAyeAmNot Yes, imagine the skin like a glove
Player of the year. I wish there was such an award. To the surgeons who save them. Having had septicemia twice and 7 surgeries to knees to ankles myself for autoimmune disorders. I couldn’t imagine what he endured.
Alex you are an amazing person. As are the half dozen military special forces people who also went through similar incidents. who made it back for serving more than themselves. Bless you!
Smith's comeback is one of the most inspiring in NFL history, no doubt.
My Mum was in a motorbike accident in the 60's UK. She severed her left foot. Muscle was taken from right thigh and transplanted in her left foot/calf to allow her to raise and drop her foot again. It was exploratory surgery by the UK NHS at that time. There was other damage (too long to explain) she had 17 surgeries and spent 3 years in hospital. Including gangrene. But it held fast until she was in her 60's. Its amazing what a good surgeon and determination can accomplish.
I just.. realized you have a lesser Bill O'Brien chin. But yours looks way way cooler and better looking.
Medicine, especially surgical interventions and techniques really are incredible. One of the coolest things I saw in nursing school was a dude who had his jaw rebuilt from one of his fibula bones.
Thank you doctor
Alex Smith I’m your diehard fan! And good luck! From San Francisco 👍
I have always LOVED ALEX!!!
I liked him here in KC. Also, I was at the Indy 500 when he was interviewed on the big screen. It was his first Indy. I think that was his last year in KC for the Chiefs. He just seems like a very good guy.
17 surgeries got damn that’s crazy
Best player on our basketball team just tore his acl lcl and mcl. Rip
Nothing but respect for Alex smith. Should name the comeback player award after him.
I love watching these vids but I have a weak stomach 🤢
Props to Alex smith and the medical team behind him. To get him back on the field is mind blowing. It is sad though that had it been the average joe they would’ve just amputated without going to the lengths they did. Personally if it had happened to me, I would’ve opted for amputation given that I still had the knee and a decent portion of tibia. As a runner I’d take a prosthetic over a foot with foot drop and no toe lift
Dr. Brian always be like "consider subscribing to my channel" and I'm like "bro, I already recommended it to all my friends". This channel is just amazing.
Round of applause for Alex Smith
Alex Smith Redskins QB rehab is crazy !! Much respect for this guy
With the precautions he is taking, how easily could he reinjure the lower leg? Also, this was a great video and one that helped me understand more about his injury!
Hey Brian can you do a video explaining the bogdan bogdanovic avulsion fracture injury on his knee? Thanks
Alex Smith is the comeback player of all time. From now on name the comeback player of the year award the Alex smith award.
can't believe that happened to alex smith talking about the infection and removal and replacement of muscles.
they should name the comeback player of the year award after alex smith
Me feeling all the bones and muscles as he explained them
I hope the chiefs sent him a super bowl ring he took kc from the dark years to a winning football team kc got love for Alex!!! Good luck against Brady!!!
Sad that he might not be able to start in the playoff game :(
Huge respect to him
I’m really curious about the Bogdan injury vs CHA. Can you break that one down?
I had developed MRSA (after a lateral release surgery) which eventually ate away my ACL and most of the Vastus Medialus. The ACL was replaced by a weave of cadaver ligament tissue and some of my won patellar ligament, and the muscle replaced with a similar weave of cutouts from two different quads (one from each leg). The amount of Physical Therapy I went through just to return to a normal life being a musician and college professor was intense, and I can’t even begin to imagine what he went through and continues to struggle with today. The Comeback Player of the Year Award should be changed and be called the Alex Smith Award in my opinion, and I cringe every single time he drops back into the pocket.
Feeling my shin as I watch this video
I hope at some point you consider becoming a professor of medicine. You have a real gift! What program is it that you use to show the anatomy?
Man watching this hurts my leg
Wow!
If it was me, I'd be afraid to come back after such an injury. For him to to get back on the metaphorical horse is impressive in it's own right.
That’s my qb!! Love Alex.
They should just call the comeback player of the year award Alex Smith award
Can you do Killian Hayes Hip Labrum injury?
NFC East has the market cornered on nasty leg/ankle breaks
Will he always have that odd lump on the front of his leg or will the muscle regrow into the leg properly like when they do an acl repair
Seeing him in your thumbnail gave me a heart attack lol
Do RGIII’s knee injury next 🥺
Could you maybe do a video on Emmitt Smith's collarbone injury? If it helps, he has an interview about it with Graham Bensinger. "If I'm gonna die I wanna die in Dallas."
Hey can you do one on John Woofard’s neck injury
I had drop foot which I can’t imagine playing again, mine was a pinch nerve it is a very strange condition
Thanks for listening to my earlier comment
I broke my leg in 13 different spots in football, when in sixth grade my foot was stuck in the ground while a 175 lb kid rolled into it, at the time i was about 60 lbs.
Bro we’re you playing a 20 year old! I’m almost a senior and only way 150!
Alex smith is my hero i got hit by a car but nothing like alexs
Comeback player of the year award should change it to The Alex smith award
i've learned more from this channel than i did from a year of biology
The doctors would amputate Alex smiths leg that's scary because there was fungus or whatever in his leg from the dirt on the field.
Could u do Bogdan Bogdonavic's knee injury?
Hey Doc can you do a video on Aaron Donald’s injury please and thank you !!
Can you make a video on Bogdan Bogdanovic’s avulsion fracture of his knee?

Please make video about aaron donald's injury.
I broke my leg a couple years ago and I thought it was bad but holy crap this guy got messed up
Guy was really winning football games missing muscles in his leg that’s crazy
Alex Smith getting screwed over in his job for Colin Kapernick was a travesty. Alex Smith redeeming himself after breaking his leg and nearly dying is inspiring and miraculous
Nasty injury. It was hard to watch.
The alex smith player of the year (a.k.a the comeback player of the year,)
I know the chances are very slim but imagine the story if he came back and won a super bowl
I feel like Brian would be a great doctor to have
Any info on that Aaron Donald Injury?
My mom had part of her hamstring wrapped around her knee that the doctor said would eventually reshape itself and form another acl basically he said it way smarter than that
Yo doc can you comment on Bogdan Bogdanovic injury from yesterday for your Serbian viewers. It appears his knee gave up. Plenty of camera angles as little Ball was around.
Waldorf injury. Rams Seahawks game pls
Walford
Alex smith for comeback player of the year!
I give my upright respect for him
I’m a panthers fan but this guy is a legend honestly he has a fucked up leg and still plays
Do John Wolford
Alex Smith needs to join the Avengers. Yeah he is a super player, but he might be a super hero.
