A couple concussions and a leg injury that’ll probably bother him forever. He needs to retire, arthritis is a motherfucker. Better take it easy now. [Reply]

He seems like a guy who thrived on the grind, so coaching may be in his future. Honestly, after the botched shoulder surgery/rushed recovery in San Fran his fundamental soundness was the only thing that kept him above average.
Good guy. Hope he has a good life whatever he decides. [Reply]
I liked Alex. He did a pretty good job while he was here. It was clear he was not a Super Bowl Caliber QB, he just didn't have that 5th Gear. But he did a great job getting Mahomie prepared, and by all accounts he's a really good person. I don't think he'll do broadcasting. When he did his weekly radio gig with KK, he just wasn't smooth enough to be a commentator. And he won't be a coach. Coaches work their asses off, long hours away from home. He's got millions in the bank. He can do whatever he wants and not have to bust ass doing it. I wish him well. [Reply]

That sucks, I liked Alex. Way too conservative in his play style many times but always seemed like a genuinely nice and sincere guy. Had a set of wheels on him as well. I doubt he has much too worry about besides missing the game. [Reply]
