Remember him? You know, the Heisman trophy winning QB from The Ohio State University and the last pick in the 5th round of the NFL draft. James Walker of ESPN.com is reporting that Troy Smith is the favorite to win the starting job for the Ravens so far. Not surprising (and I’m not saying this because I’m a Buckeye fan) since Kyle Boller seems to have had his shot and Joe Flacco is a rookie. It is sometimes good to sit out your first season and learn.
Who knows if Smith will start the opener against the Cincinnati Bengals and if he’ll keep that starting job all season but the Buckeye fan in me is rooting for him. And even though him and the rest of the Buckeyes got pummeled by Florida that year (not as fresh in my mind though thanks to the pummeling done by LSU last season) he ended last season as the starter and had a great spring. Lets see if he can have a great fall.
