He’s the comeback player of the year even if he plays zero snaps.

Alex Smith continues to prove himself. No matter where this goes this is another massive win. It’s truly mind boggling. I do not think a month ago the organization would have seen this coming.

For those saying what you would do if you were Alex Smith... you're not Alex Smith. Dude is wired differently. As mentally tough as they come. Trust me, no one knows the risks better than him.
— John Keim (@john_keim) August 16, 2020
Don’t like saying we “need” sports, but I do believe we need examples of resilience, fortitude, self belief, and family loyalty/trust like Alex Smith and his wife Elizabeth showed on their journey back to the football field. Incredible.
— Louis Riddick (@LRiddickESPN) August 16, 2020
The Alex Smith news is as stunning as it is wonderful. As people now know from Project 11, he legitimately almost died. There were no guarantees of anything and the dude just worked and worked and worked.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) August 16, 2020
Incredibly happy for him. Congrats, Alex. You’ve done the impossible.
I hope that Alex Smith takes his incredible comeback as far as he can. And I hope that Dwayne Haskins dominates and wins the @WashingtonNFL QB competition.
— Al Galdi (@AlGaldi) August 16, 2020
Alex Smith’s comeback is absolutely incredible. Incredible. But at some point this becomes a football story, and from a football perspective, his return causes a big problem. https://t.co/lduIrgyY99

Smith’s second year in the league was under Norv Turner, FWIW. So he does have some experience in this offense and has spoken favorably of it since then
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) August 16, 2020
Mentioned this on my video but per sources Smith will have a “gradual re-introduction” to team activity. They’ll take it slower and see what he can handle.
— John Keim (@john_keim) August 16, 2020
Not going to lie. I never thought Alex Smith would return to the active roster. I'm definitely not alone. Will Smith actually play a game? Who knows, but I am done doubting he can pull off the miracle. On Smith's latest step for @TheAthletic: https://t.co/qTyoyhgGIF

Patrick Mahomes was seen at practice today working on throws in a kind of a forward pitch style motion. With as talented as he is, and how he studies other QBs to try and implement it into his game, it feels like we’ve just seen the tip of the iceberg. He’s his answer on it. pic.twitter.com/OVF3XLEeiE

What if the real reason not to pay RBs isn't the cap, it's that it puts the offense in the position where they feel like they have to use them, because they paid them?

#49ers WR Jalen Hurd fell awkwardly on the side field while running route and was down for a few minutes. He just walked back to the locker room gingerly roughly an hour into practice. Waiting for update from team later.

One thing that’s both evident here at practice and on tape from 2019 - D.K. Metcalf’s ability to climb on top of DBs in press in early phases of the route is ELITE.
