I swear that I've heard this story before, but just can't place it.  |

Those are the first two names that popped into my head while reading this thread. Troy will get a chance. D1AA Flacco will not be ready to go when the coaches decide that Boller can't be trusted. Troy will be ready.

If they loved flacco soooo much they wouldn't have traded back to get the kid. Yeah, it was a little high to draft flacco and it was smart to trade back, but if he was their perfect pick they would've felt he was worth the #8 pick (see donte whitner going to buffalo at #8). Personally I think flacco's going to flop and isn't going to amount to jack, and it doesn't really matter who they have I think in the end Troy will be who the fans want. If he doesn't start he will find a starting role somewhere sometime.
They talk about Flacco's HUGE arm etc etc... are they forgetting that Troy can match arm strength for arm strength with this guy? Oh but Flacco's pretty mobile for a big guy!! Ummm Troy can do what he can and then some as far as moving around in the pocket. I also laugh at the people who say he's not very accurate.. Are you kidding? If anything troy's fault is he throws the ball a little too hard on the intermediate routes. There's also two other entangibles that Flacco won't bring to the table A) leadership and B) heart. Sure flacco will show heart but it won't be what #10 will bring to the table. Troy already talks like he runs the offense from what I see through interviews and the such. If baltimore doesn't start him or have him #2 on the depth chart I hope they trade him for Troy's sake.

A nice recap of Troy Smith's tumultuous rookie year in the NFL.

Off-topic, but I like the red jerseys more than their actual jerseys.
