  Right, the York family and Debartolo family, but no one started threads on Alex Smith. There's definitely a contingent of 9ers fans, especially in the Canfield area, but ytown, we all know the reason this thread exists is because Troy Smith played at OSU.
  
  I just don't understand why Mr. Italy felt compelled to make a point that is extremely obvious (not that Troy Smith isn't a good NFL quarterback, but about why he's mentioned) in a condescending fashion.

  Singletary has really screwed the pooch with this situation. He's done

  lep,
  
  I don't disagree, but there is definitely an Ohio tie that doesn't exist for other NFL teams, OSU grad/ownership = more than relevant on an Ohio based board. Doesn't quite get more relevant than that.

  Bingo, go to a 9ers board. They absolutely hate that guy. I don't see him lasting much longer there

  Again, he got his chance and look at his stats, the proof is there. He can't cut it at this level!

  The proof that his 80.2 rating makes him the number 21 qb ahead of Donovan mcnabb Carson Palmer and Brett favre. Gtfo

  Yeah, he's better than an old man clinging to his glory days and two other QB's who are in a steady decline. Great comparison.:rolleyes:

  Troy wasn't terrible and had more wins in less games than alex smith. I'm perplexed by this situation. I think we can all agree that Troy wouldn't be starting in many other situations, but in SF he actually makes sense.

  rock_knutne;592437 wrote:^^^^^Common sense? BTW, yes, that's the only reason why he's mentioned on this forum........and GOD forbid your opinion isn't in agreement with the majority! I just don't think he has the tools to make at the NFL level.

  
  He already has made it. More so than Brady Quinn.
  
  Its safe to say that you haven't watched Smith play for the Niners this season. He hasn't lit the world on fire, but he has been rather solid. By no means is he perfect, but keep in mind, the Niners are a pretty bad team.
  
  As always....haters will hate.

  Wow, you really are clueless. He is better than 11 QB's getting paid money to play in the NFL. Obviously if they are cutting it, then he can cut it.

  Hoping he gets another shot. With the weapons on the 9ers they should be better. Takes time to get adjusted maybe a whole training camp to get down timing etc... then we can see what he has to offer.

  These posts prove my point, you guys are so blind it's not funny! LOL......better than 11 QB's getting paid, that's a side splitter! There aren't many good QB's in the NFL, that's a known fact, they are at a premium. Smith is in the bottom half of the league in stats, that's not saying much. Why can't SOME of you grasp that and take the blinders off?

  Please elaborate. What did I say that "proved your point"?
  
  Blind? lmao....are you that dumb? I'm calling it like I see it. Hes decent, nothing great, nothing terrible. How does it feel to CONSTANTLY be hating? Is it a Steubenville thing?

  Maybe you're that dumb.......once AGAIN, you prove my point! Smith is not a very good NFL caliber QB and please, don't bring up the hate factor because I have said MANY times that he was a great college QB.

  there is no denying what you're saying, but your past leads most of us to believe you hate on him because of the color of his jersey when he was in college.

  So you go from he isn't an NFL QB, to not a very good NFL QB. Come on, make up your mind. Is he an NFL QB or not?

  It looks like its you my friend....you failed to answer my question. Prove what? C'mon...back your shit up.
  
  Where did I say he was "very good". I wasn't saying anything to hype his pro career/game up. I said he was DECENT.
  
  You're a hater....flat out. You have that I'm right you're wrong mentality.....typical of Steubenville. I bet you have your own bar stool in Manfred's. lol

  You guys are full of crap! LMFAO......my past and I'm a hater, hysterical! It amazes me how much garbage people make up on here! I don't troll on OSU threads or any rival threads for that matter, I don't post on them period! The both of you need to get a clue!
  
  BTW Auto, I don't frequent Manfred's, that's a Big Red bar!

  Its amazing how you twist shit around, get called out, and then say we are "making it up" and its a "waste of time."
  
  You were talking out of your ass.
• rock_knutne

  ^^^^Huh? You're the one talking out of the ass pal!
  
  Look, I'm done with this, you guys can have your man crush on Troy Smith all you want, I don't care. My point remains that he's not NFL caliber.......good day!
• j_crazy

  

  FWIW i never said you trolled on OSU threads, just that you seem to be unjustly biased.
  
  as much as i hate scUM, i'll admit they've produced arguably the best QB ever. if troy smith had 2 Super Bowls and 1 MVP at this point in his career, i still think you'd be hating on him. thats just my opinion though.
  
  and I don't deny that he's a bottom tier QB in the NFL, but for the team he's on you have to admit he's probably the best option for them to win. which is why the decision to bench him is mind boggling.
• dat dude

  LOL @ trying to reason with Rock. Its impossible.
