Troy's Time

You have to like Troy Smith's prospects for leading the Ravens this season.  Kyle Boller, I'm sorry, but your erratic play and suspect leadership have worn out their welcome.

Time to go.

Joe Flacco, your job is to study and learn and learn and study.  Your time is coming.   Grab a clipboard and get comfortable.

While Troy is still a little green, he has the confidence to believe that he can lead the offense.  I think he deserves the chance.  He has a little seasoning (stress little here), and, more importantly, he's athletic and fits perfectly into the kind of offense Coach Harbaugh and Coach Cameron want to put on the field.  Sure, there will be growing pains and mistakes--some of them egregious--but Smith should get the chance.
 
Maybe it's just me, but Kyle Boller was just not getting it done.  At his worst, he embodied indecision and poor execution.  Sometimes on the same play.  And even with several seasons under his belt, I just don't see much development.  I'm sure the defense felt like they had to score points every game to bail out the offense.
And now that JO is retired, Smith's mobility could become crucial.

We'll have to see what the coaches decide, but here's one strong vote for Troy Smith.
