Smith Talks Postseason Pressure, Concussions, Coaching Stability
ESPN’s Alex Smith offered perspective on quarterbacks, coaching stability, and postseason pressure. He said constant coordinator changes can help a QB learn the game but stressed stability still matters most, noting Jalen Hurts at least benefits from consistent terminology. Smith believes Mike Tomlin stepped away on his own and would have teams lining up to hire him. He explained how postseason football can overwhelm certain quarterbacks, shared sobering insight from his own concussion experience, and expects a high-scoring Rams-Bears matchup given Chicago’s turnover-reliant defense.
