The quarterback market for free agencies will reportedly grow by one in the coming days – and when the recent report by Ian Rapoport and Kim Jones of NFL Network and Kim Jones becomes a reality, the Miami Dolphins will have the perfect candidate to to set up their rugby quarterback role on the roster.
Rapoport tweeted on Monday that Alex Smith, the American football player of the Washington football team, is being chosen to be cut by the team.
‘The Washington Football Team is expected to separate with QB Alex Smith in the coming days, sources say and @KimJonesSports. The AP Comeback Player of the Year said he still wants to play, and at 36, he has a chance to do so. ”
Smith is an excellent candidate to step into a backup role at Miami. Because he, unlike Ryan Fitzpatrick, will not be a long-term threat to the Dolphins’ development of Tua Tagovailoa, the fullback. But unlike Fitzpatrick, Smith does not offer the sweat capital that has earned him the trust and loyalty of so many of his teammates. the second half of the season; in both cases better than Tagovailoa.
Smith still offers a lot of experience to the game as the overall pick in the 2005 NFL draft; after enlisting 167 in the NFL and making an amazing comeback from a gruesome leg injury that not only nearly ended his career, but also took his life.
If you consider Smith’s style of play before his 2018 injury in Washington, Smith was an accurate passer with good but not great mobility – not unlike the qualities that Tua Tagovailoa offers the Dolphins. And Smith knows a lot about uninspiring beginnings. Yes, Tagovailoa could not live up to his own expectations, despite a 6-3 record as the team’s starter in 2020. But the benchmark he set is far above Alex Smith’s first three seasons with San Francisco from 2005- 2008.
Smith posted 30 games during the three seasons and recorded an 11-19 record, experienced two seasons of 50% or less and offered a 19 to 33 ratio between the distinctions. But Smith miraculously turned his career around in San Francisco, leaving the team with a 38-36-1 record at the 49ers in 2013 before manning the fifth season (and a 50-26 record) at Kansas City has. If Alex Smith can endure the kind of season he hired as a rookie and turn things around, imagine what he could have given Tagovailoa.
And unlike Fitzpatrick, Smith will not have a longer term than the young quarterback, which means the locker room dynamics will remain comfortable in favor of the Dolphins’ quarterback of the future.
