Dr. David Chao: “Give Alex Smith the Comeback Player of the Year Award right here, and right now, but he’s not the same mobile Alex Smith. He’s still very mobile, he’s more mobile than my friend Philip Rivers, but he’s not ‘Alex Smith.’ The regular Alex Smith doesn’t get sacked six times in this game for 41 yards, and he eludes the majority if not all of those pressures. The old Alex Smith is not throwing the ball for 2.2 yards per pass attempt, and that’s what happened. He had to stay in the game because Kyle Allen wasn’t 100%, Ron Rivera wasn’t trying to do it to him. I mean, congratulations to Alex and his family. Notch it up, he did it, he made it back to the NFL, and let’s all just celebrate that.” (Full Segment Above)
