On Troy Smith:

1. charisma, leadership, athletic
2. struggled with accuracy when they drafted him but he appears to have improved
3. can beat you in the pocket
4. leadership can be important but all leadership stems from production


Saints aren't getting the turnovers they got last year but they are dangerous as they are getting some players back from injury.

League isn't dominated by good QB play. Teams that are winning are running the ball and playing good defense.

Absolutely open field to who becomes the elite team.

Eh, now they are getting into the CBA.

There's always an exception. One scenario could be, IF the Niners and up winning the West this season, and Sing STILL gets fired. Billick could be handed the keys to a young, hungry playoff team, on the cusp of another Superbowl appearance.

And he would be perfect for him because this team already shares his philosophy.

I'm positive he would at least consider it.

i definitely agree about #4

not many QBs are like that, it proves that as a young school boy he was dedicated to martial arts and being disciplined. As a fellow Karate expert this makes me proud to call Blacksmith our QB. To Infinity and Beyond

troy smith is a karate expert??
