Look-
I understand everyone wanting to see these kids "get a chance to show what he's got"
Unfortunately life is not that way anymore than football... its like the people I work with who do the minimum at their job- and for the most part do a good job- but then bitch and moan becasue they don't get promoted... well-- why is that? Because they haven't shown all the different things that you need to show... (This is more the attitude of the Smith supporters than Smith himself, it seems)
Same thing here. Troy HAS HAD HIS OPPORTUNITIES. That's what two years on the practice squad and scrimmages are for.
Not to mention that I can't remember the kid getting us a first down the times he has been in the game....
What he needs to realize is this: First, He is the backup QB at one of the premier football programs in the nation. That alone will get him a look in the pros. Second: The kid is obviously very talented... considering all teh praise of heard for Boeckman... Smith is still number 2.. and has not played in any other positions, presumably because we can't afford to let him get injured. To be honest, his best opportunity to play is going to be if Boeckman has Tressels confidence at #2B and Troy can get on the field somehow... He's a valuable player... ironically, that's why hes' not playing.
Edit- Also, all this give the kid a cahnce shit has to stop. Tressel is obligated to the team, the fans, the Alumni, his family, and everyone else to do his job and give the team what he thinks is the best chance to win every week. So to say otherwise is to say that you know better than he does...

Darius did you ever stop to think that maybe Tressel thinks that Smith would make the exact same mistakes, if not more? Why do you think that when Smith did get in there, the playbook wasnt as open as it was for Zwick? Maybe Tressel just doesnt think that Smith has the grasp on the playbook and the reads that Zwick has. Maybe Tressel doesnt want a QB that is constantly looking to run instead of standing in the pocket until its absolutely necessary to run? The thing is WE dont know, so instead of bashing people, and saying everyone is a "yes man" why dont you try to look at things objectively and just admit to yourself that you dont know, just like none of the rest of us.

out of chaos comes playoffs
on a related note here,
i wonder if we will have more and more disgruntled backups with our close to the vest style that makes us keep in our starters longer than we would perhaps need to otherwise.
just wondering, now back bitchfest.

how about we compare Zwicks first ever AWAY game against a great defense.... with a four year starting quarerback (Randall) playing at HOME
vs. the same team....???
zwick:.... 10-21...73yds...2 sacks...22pts...WIN
randall:....11-25..156yds..10SACKS..16pts...LOSS
hows that for stats.....

LHM, er, I mean, Darius - I can't tell from reading your ignorant posts, who do you hate more, Zwick or Tressel? And I have to ask, do you consider yourself a Buckeye fan? Or just some fucking troll with no life and a mouth that writes bad checks? Your football ignorance truly astounds me.
