Everybody loves a winning QB. Especially if he is from the O, the S, to the U team....well "almost" everybody that is.

Which brings me to my next point: It seems that the people that love him MOST do it out of blind love because he played at OSU. And the people that hate him MOST do it because they hate OSU.

This brings me to my next point: The OSU system! OSU runs a "Run and Shoot" offense. An offense like that requires a lot of good receivers and a QB to fit the system like OJ's glove. That is where all of OSU's good receivers and Troy Smith come into play. Who in the nation has 4 good DBs to cover all those good receivers of OSU? Not many...or maybe NONE! This is evident already. PS- A "Run and Shoot" team need 8 good receivers. And they need speed too. There are a lot of 4-Receiver Plays in the "Run and Shoot".

So, my next point: Troy Smith needs the Run and Shoot system to be successful at the next level. So, if he were to come to the Current Browns, he would need at least 3 more good RECEIVERS. Right now we have BE, KW2, JJ. Possible receivers: Heiden, Wilson, Cribbs. We need more 'good and fast' receivers.

And my next point: If you want Troy Smith to play for the Browns, you have to do 4 things,

1. Draft Calvin Johnson.

2. Draft Troy Smith in the second (Trade up if needed to)

3. Draft another WR early

4. Draft another WR a little later.

Sounds like a lot of work? Kinda. But to me it sounds like a lot of luck is needed and many stars to align.

To my second to last point: Who in the NFL has the DBs to cover KW2, BE, Calvin Johnson, JJ. Then they all rotate in and out with Wilson, Heiden, Cribbs, and the 2 possible good rookie WRs. You would devastate other teams. I am a little surprised as to why NFL teams don’t use this system a lot. Although a system like this can only be run by such QBs as Troy Smith and Charlie Frye.

And the last point: You can't put Troy Smith in just any other system. If you want him to succeed in the NFL, he has to come to a system that suits him. Now this is just from watching games and confirming it with a friend that is a scout. But who knows, he may just become great without a specific system...well then you can forget about the "Run and Shoot" gentleman.
 
Nice post.

There is one person that I think of when I think about Troy Smith and how he will fair in the NFL..

Charlie Ward.... Some of you young ones in here might have to research on the guy to know who he is. For those that remember him, The Heisman, and National Champ winner that did not get drafted out of Florida State, played 11 seasons with the Knicks instead.

Same situation as Troy, no size, great coach, great players around him. i.e. Warrick Dunn and Derrick Brooks on defense. He was the second coming of Christ for college football. A strange thing happened though, he was never drafted....

Now I love Troy Smith and pray for National Championship from the guy, but I do not want him on the Browns. He is not what we need to win, Quinn either for that matter. Remember that this team was blown up 3 times since we have been back. This year was the second year of our last blow up. The great thing we have now is some solid pieces to build around. The key to the Browns success will be patience. No need to fire coaches and start all over again. Patience is a virtue. I have learned that after 30 years as a Browns fan.

On that note, this has to be a solid draft this year!!. Depth and O-line of course has to addressed. If it is not and we do not improve next season, well then it is time to blow it up again in my mind.

Here’s wishing Troy success in the National Championship game and a long career after that, just not with the Browns..

Hate to say it, but there arent many teams that are going to go out an build a system for an undersized QB. Thats unreal.
 
NOOO!!!!

I agree with this completely.

To be fair, he would have been drafted if he didn't come out and say he was never going to play in the NFL. His first love was basketball and a close second was baseball.

I believe he was drafted by a MLB team.
 
If he's on the table in the 2nd round for us I don't see how we can pass him up. But if he isn't don't worry about it.
 
on a side note, who thinks Snake stole this off some other site?

WTF?

That is insulting. You think I am not capable of writing a decent post? :mad:

Google search it. If you find it on some other site, I will stop posting on this site forever. DEAL?

Why would you say such a thing? I guess this is one the reason why most of the people here hate you.

Yeah, you are right...just look at how the people on this board respond to you. But hey, thats just my opinion.

NO, just stop, lets not ruin this thread. If you want, to continue this, start another thread somewhere else. This is for the Browns right?

Mods, keep an eye on this.
