Is Troy Smith still a free agent? I thought he showed real flashes last year.

I remember wanting us to bring him in in training camp. I still have a hard time believing that he would have been worse than Tyler Palko. Then again, I doubt any of the guys on that list would have been.

Haley liked Palko.

Which continues to piss me off.

True, that much was apparent even last August.

I still think that it would have been a good move, though. C’est la vie.

Them PA guys gotta stick together

Men succeed when they realize that their failures are the preparation for their victories.

Last I heard Troy was with the Omaha Nighthawks of the UFL.

Do we go fetal and beg for mercy? Or do we pick up that broken piece of pipe laying on the ground and come up swinging? I choose pipe.

Goes to show what competent coaching

can do for a guy. And for the record, I don’t believe Smith was ever benched for Carr. At least in regular season play

Would have been hard to make that argument last year.

Just goes to show what a different situation can do to a player.

Actually, Smith has never looked that good this year.

Almost identical stats to 2010 Cassel. Even in the playoff game last week he didn’t look good till the last 4 minutes.

I think they’re very comparable.

I wouldn't give a huge edge.

But the game against the Saints was very impressive. I haven’t seen Cassel put on a performance like that on any stage. Let alone a playoff game in ultimate crunch time.

Fire Scott Pioli + hire Captain Hindsight = Superbowl.
