Alex Smith considered reuniting with Urban Meyer in Jacksonville before announcing retirement from the NFL
Alex Smith is excited about the future of the Jaguars but not even the vibes the quarterback picked up during his visit to Jacksonville was enough to sway him away from retirement.
If you missed the news on Monday, the veteran quarterback announced his retirement from the NFL after 14 seasons in the league.
Smith was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft after playing for Urban Meyer and Dan Mullen at Utah. He went on to start for the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs, throwing for 35,650 yards and 199 touchdowns during his NFL career.
During a recent appearance on ESPN show Outside The Lines, Smith said a free agent visit to Jacksonville has his excitement level for Meyer’s Jaguar program at a new level.
“I left there so excited about what Coach Meyer has going and what he’s building and his vision and the culture he’s going to bring,” Smith says in the clip below.

Yep, if it’s one thing ol’ Corch knows how to build for a football…
… it’s a lasting culture.
LOL.
Next time your around the ol’ I-75 truckstop come on in and you can get Flo (waitress) to show you the 2 National Championship trophies. They still have a shine so no need to polish them up just yet. On your way out take a look at what a heisman winning QB statue looks like, excuse me, what 3 Heisman statues look like. I know it’s been a while for you guys, do you even know what i’m talking about anymore?
Kirby is certainly building a lasting culture at UGA! Same as Richt did. Doing less with more and always falling short of the hype/expectations. I hope Kirby stays around for a long time. That way we can hear all the preseason hype about UGA recruiting Natty’s for years to come only to taste tears of the UGA trolls once the season is over. So sad and desperate. It will be so satisfying to continue to watch Mullen take underdeveloped players from your team, watch our coaches develop them and then beat you with those same players that “just could not cut it,” at UGA. LOL. UGA faithful will continue to be known as the most delusional fanbase in college football.
Is this a Florida Gators article?
Longtime77, It starts out as a Gator article (just like all of them) but quickly turns to an Obsessions anonymous group puke session. Example of some of the attending members: My name is “Blankety Blank” and i spend most hours of my day creeping, stalking, spewing, blabbing, and rambling on about my jealous obsession with another team. I need help as i cannot stop my obsession by myself. Group response: Hi Blankety Blank, why don’t you try cross-stitching or knitting, it’s so relaxing.
This ^^^100%^^^
The sad obsession continues…
