Its nice to see that even with a suspended starting QB, we still have 2 others who are very capable of filling in.

Troy Smith is saying all the right things lately, it's good to see.
Makes me humble.....turn it into a positive......do whatever Coach says

when watching zwick talk on tv, he just doesn't seem comfortable. he makes poor eye contact. you get the sense that he doesn't really believe what he's saying. he seems nervous. he's not exactly mumbling, but his words just don't come across as very strong.

Ever seen Joe Montana in an interview situation? Or in his blessedly short-lived tenure as an ESPN analyst? Not exactly Mr. Dynamic Personality. On the other hand, Ryan Leaf was always plenty brash in the interview room. Now, I'm not saying that Justin Zwick is Joe Montana, and I'm sure as hell not saying that Troy Smith is Ryan Leaf (performance-wise or demeanor-wise). My point is that a guy's demeanor with a television camera jammed in his face isn't necessarily an accurate indicator of his ability to lead the team.

How old is this depth chart? Until Tressel himself says Zwick will start those games, this is not refuted yet.

I wasn't referring to Troy Smith's 'Q' rating, but to what I perceive as a more humble team-oriented attitude displayed in his comments.
