Re: Now YOU can make a difference
Judging from what I saw Sunday Night Troy Smith is the better Quarterback.

:grbac: I'm all for giving him some playing time, but the kid's a fifth round draft pick -- aren't the expectations here a bit high?

There's plenty wrong with it, if they are unrealistic. Let's give the kid a chance. If morons want to run him out of town after two or three bad games because he hasn't meet their "high expectations," then that's a problem.
Re: Now YOU can make a difference
I'm in Festivus. No card number for me.
Let the revolution begin.
Re: Now YOU can make a difference
There is NOTHING wrong with it. We just want him to have a chance to show what he has or doesn't have. If he turns out to suck, that is our issue to deal with. Now get out of our Troy Smith love fest thread. ;)
Re: Now YOU can make a difference
if he sucks hes just a 5th round pick --no big deal. We need to explore what we have. Boller has had 5 years and over 40 starts and cost this team a 1st and a 2nd to get him, we know what we have in that bastard...now its time to move forward.
Hugs and kisses to Troy

Ummmmm, Brian Billick as the offensive coordinator maybe? Our offensive line? Our receiving core?
And doesn't this belong in the QB Debate thread?

What difference does his draft round make? Tom Brady was a 6th round pick and Kyle Boller was a first round pick who do you want as your starting QB? Don't get me wrong I'm in no way comparing Boller or Smith to Brady but strictly from a numerical standpoint. You can't always judge a player simply by his draft position, personnel departments make mistakes. If you doubt it look at our defensive backfield, somebody thought these stiffs could play. Smith may be nothing or he may be the proverbial diamond in the rough. In any case we aren't going to know unless he gets to play. As far as high expectations, the way this season has played out I highly doubt anyone could still have high expectations for anything, all we want is a glimmer of hope to cling to through the dark, cold offseason.
