Question

troy smith dont have a future who agrees with me that hell be in the europe leauge by 2008

hey wait im a bengals fan and carson is awsome

Answer 1

He's Canada material.

The guy looked lost against a fast Florida defense, and that's nothing compared to what he could face in the NFL. He can't read a defense.

And the guy admits to being "out of shape," and he "attended too many banquets," before the scouting combine. WTF?

If the kid is a true professional, you would think he could push away from the buffet table.

He was a great college QB. Maybe he and Danny Wuerffel can open an IHOP together, and put their Heisman trophies near the register.

OKAY fine... how about Troy and Gino Toretta open the IHOP. My point is, Heisman QBs generally don't pan out.

Answer 2

Troy Smith has a future in the CFL or in the arena league.

As for the IHOP comment with Danny. Normally that'd be funny. However, considering he basically gave all his money and has devoted his life to his ministry in New Orleans, which by the way was destroyed by Katrina, I think you should kinda cut him a break. His heart was never really into the pros. Was he a great NFL qb? No. But he is a great guy who decided on a different path in life versus working on getting better in the NFL.

Answer 3

i personally agree with you, i think that troy smith is a GOOD athlete but, he is extremlly lucky. He was surrounded by so many taleneted plays that it was hard for him to look bad. He had so much talent to work with on that team that its really no suprise they did so good. Then when you see what happens with the Gators, its a completly different story. I think that he is also lazy and does not want it as much as some other and lacks in his physical training. Proof of this is that for a heishman trophy winner being drafted this late a large amount of people must not see potential in him

Answer 4

He has a future RIGHT NOW. Come on he is on the Ravens. McNair has one or two years left in him as most see it. On the other hand I was waiting for him to get injured and MISS A GAME last year, didn't really happen although I think he missed the end of a game and he was hurt in the bye week. Still he is PHYSICALLY old. Next you have Kyle Boiler. Right now Smith is really the number 2 guy behind McNair if you ask me.

Answer 5

He is in the best situation as there is absolutely zero pressure on having to step into battle for the starting job. I will say he blew it bigtime by not going into the combine in great shape and saying that was because of hitting the banquet circuit.

It comes down to how bad does he want to be in the league; bad enough to be a back-up for the next couple of years, bad enough to hold a clipboard. That adjustment is sometimes the hardest for college stars.

I can't root against him, but I can't understand how he personally didn't take the pre-draft workouts more seriously.

Answer 6

I think that Troy Smith is actually underrated. They say hes to small but he still delivers. In my opinion he on a bigger stage and put way more on the line than Brady Quinn ever did. Troy won't be amazing but he'll be about the avg QB

Answer 7

WOW! you are giving him alot of credit by saying he will be around until 2008. I think he will be cut in preseason.

Josh Heupel ring a bell?

Answer 8

i can see troy smith starting by mid-season

Answer 9

His only future is as a free safety in the AFL.

Answer 10

He will be McNair's replacement. Boller SUX
