troy smith back on the crawl
Steelers released him. Anybody think he latches on with somebody else? I doubt it, unless its in an arena or canada.

Re: troy smith back on the crawl
I never had a doubt that Smith should have gone to the CFL. The Ravens wasted a 5th round pick on Smith, who was too little and inaccurate to be an NFL QB.
In a 2003 BBC poll that asked Brits to name the "Greatest American Ever", Mr. T came in fourth, behind ML King (3rd), Abe Lincoln (2nd) and Homer Simpson (1st).

Re: troy smith back on the crawl
I wouldnt say "wasted", he was an adequate back up at the time, and was used effectively when the "wildcat" was in its heyday. They did right by getting rid of him when they did. Im also thankful things fell the way we did and he didnt get a chance to start. Would have been a disaster, instead of an AFCC season, but i still think wasted is a little harsh for a guy that did give us some value.

Meh ...... perhaps there's a better term than "wasted", although I didn't recall any significant wildcat big gains outside of one looping pass to Flacco. However, there was a benefit that only a 5th rounder could provide: Smith's low salary for 4 years enabled Ozzie pay the vets.

As long as he crawls away from Baltimore I don't care where he goes.

He'll probably catch on as a camp body somewhere for a little while.

Re: troy smith back on the crawl
Smith was the type of guy that players could like. However, there is a reason why coaches coach and players play. I rolled my eyes when I heard the players talking about Smith needing to get a chance.
I knew that Smith was done when I saw him do a dance in the end zone versus Detroit. It was the fourth quarter and they were already up by darn near thirty points. Yet, in the rain, this fool is dancing."Please take with you this final sword, The Excellector. I am praying that your journey will be guided by the light", Leon Shore

All I can say is I hope he saved some of his money.
