Is Alex Smith Playing Hurt

I don't remember where I heard this but the gif of Alex in the Texans game vs the Buffalo game reminded me of it.

Alex is playing like he is hurt. Think about the Giants game and his totally weak arm, his hesitation to throw into even larger open windows down the field and his want to run at the first chance.

It seems like he has a shoulder issue or maybe just a dead arm issue going on but doesn't want to let on because he knows if he hits the bench he isn't likely getting his job back from Mahomes.

It really makes a lot of sense when you think about it.

I haven't seen him play a 4 games streak this bad ever and its not really even close.

I'm not making excuses, I want Mahomes, its just weird to fall that far off a cliff that fast. And no he has never played like the first 5 games for that long but he hasn't played this bad for this long before either.

Its not like he is playing on an untalented team with few opportunities, he isn't even trying to make wide open passes. Its insane.

Those horrible throws in the Giants game certainly didn't look like a guy with a healthy arm or shoulder. They were 5 YARDS short, not 5 feet.

Since that first 5 weeks, i have noticed a good portion of his balls have been high, with loose spirals. Could be his shoulder is bothering him. Regardless, if he is hurt, its pretty selfish not to report it for fear of losing the job if Pat steps in and plays well.

All the more reason to make the switch at Quarterback and coach being dumb not too.

Andy should bench Alex for his own safety. It's the right thing to do.

Someone commented during the Giants game that when Alex was passing, he was winding his entire body up like he's going for a hail mary, but it's just a 10 (or so) yard throw.

And his passes have been unbelievable shitty the last 2 weeks, even the worst Alex hater never accused him of being that inaccurate.

If anyone has the motivation to play hurt, it's certainly Smith. Not saying I think he has an injury, but its definitely plausible.

This isn't a guy with a dead arm.

He's just Alex.

If he was hurt, I don't think he'd be diving head and shoulders first when he's scrambling.

He's got David Carr syndrome.

Scared to get hit and feeling scared. I think each bad performance is stacking in his mind and he's starting to really feel the pressure mounting.

He knows guys like Kelce are off his bandwagon.

I think he knows he's not going to be a Chief next year, so I doubt he's playing hurt to keep his job. It would be wiser for him to report an injury and sit on the bench for X amount of time. Secondly, it would seem to me that the coaching/training staff would notice an injury during practice. He's just not stepping up into the pocket to let it fly.
