Both guys are talented and have what it takes to have success QB. both played with great football team and had WRs and took advantage of their situation. Nothing is wrong with him, people say hes too small for QB but Vick was too small and vick is doing his thang. I would personally go for Jamarcus russel, he has peyton manning body but more mobile, and reminds me of a mixture of steve mcnair and daunte cultpepper in their prime. Big body, aggressive, hard to bring down, mobile, and have great arm power.

This also isn't hard to answer. Jamarcus Russell could be a great NFL QB. Troy Smith may play in the NFL as well , but not at QB. Russell has all the tools.

Like others, I think Jamarcus Russell will be a much better NFL talent. The arm, height, descion-making, etc. But in order to give both players a fair trial, Troy Smith has had a difficult college career before this season. The Buckeyes didn't decide on starting Smith until afer they were beat by the Longhorns. Smith throws a pretty ball, and is pretty elusive, almost like Donavon McNabb. I don't think he'l be and NFl talent, but he definately deseverved the Heisman.

All you have to do is look at Mel Kiper's top picks, Troy Smith is no where to be found. Jamarcus Russell is a first round pick probably #1 overall, Troy smith will be lucky to be drafted in the 3rd round.

Russell, no comparison. Smith has many more problems besides being short, you know. You can't compare him with other short NFL QBs like Drew Brees. Brees is really accurate and Smith isn't. It also takes Smith about 10 minutes between the time he decides to throw the ball and the time it leaves his hand, while Brees' release time is lightning fast. And Smith isn't nearly fast enough to be a Michael Vick-type player. He really just doesn't have the skills to be a decent NFL QB. Smith's character and intelligence are also questionable.

At this point who knows, but given the measuarable data and the intangibles Russel looks like he will be the better pro. Remember a few years back a qb named Ryan Leaf was considered just as good or maybe better than Peyton Manning, see how that turned out.

Troy Smith will probably put up better numbers because he will be playing in the Arena league and Russell will be in the NFL.

Russel is miles better. I don't think Troy Smith will ever be more than a backup with his lack of size.

I have nothing against Troy Smith but I have seen Jemarcus Russell throw the football and he has a gun for an arm.

Are you serious? Russell is way better than Smith. Russell is going to be off the draft board in the first three picks, more than likely the 1st pick. Smith will be lucky to get off the board in the first THREE ROUNDS. Its not even close.
