Alex Smith Calls Out Tom Brady for NFL Diss, Playing in 'Uncompetitive' AFC East
(bleacherreport.com)
A place for NFL news, game highlights and everything that excites you about American Football.
It also keeps players from joining his most direct competition. I admired Alex Smith with the 49ers and especially after his horrible injury. But the reality is that the premier free agents did not want to sign with a team that wouldn’t even make the playoffs because of Tom Brady.
I hear the arguments of "Well X QB doesn't want to go to a team that has Mahomes in the same division", and find that a bit ludicrous (see: Russell Wilson) but there are other divisions that are more wide open that don't have a Mahomes in it, where that QB has a better chance to win it. They have a better chance of making the playoffs.
