Really hope Cardinals sign QB Alex Smith!

AZCardsWin · Mar 19, 2021

As we learned (the hard way) last year the Cardinals really need a true veteran back-up QB. QB Alex Smith would be a perfect fit. Not only can he play in KK system, he would bring a mountain of experience that KM could mentor from especially during the ups and downs of the season. Also Smith can start an win football games should KM have to miss any time. Smith at this point of his career wants a ring and that seems to be the Cardinals only goal for 2021!

Go Cardinals,

We could do worse.

I agree but would he come here? Kinda surprised he has not signed anywhere yet.

Alex smith is exactly the sort of coach on the field player Kyler needs. Someone he could work with in the off-season as well.

Agree that we need an experienced backup and Smith would fill that role very well.

I kind of disagree. Alex is risk averse to a fault.

Agree with this. That leg is just too big a problem.

I also agree that he would be a good mentor absent that horrific injury.

They will try the guy from Hawaii as back up

I wouldnt mind him as a backup however it is clear the team wants mobile QBs only since drafting kyler. Every backup has been mobility focused.

This offense is design to have a mobile QB starting. Unless they go big in the draft on an RB, I don’t think Smith has the mobility any longer he would need to be effective. I do admire what he’s accomplished.

Translation - Poor fit.
