Steve McNair looked broke down last season and Kyle Boller just wasn’t that good. It’s quite possible that the Ravens might give the starting job to Troy Smith next season. If they decide to go that way they will need a veteran backup just in case Smith isn’t ready. Smith played in 4 games last season for the Ravens and he completed 40 of 76 passes (52.6%) for 452 yards with 2 TD passes and 0 interceptions (79.5 QB Rating). He also carried the ball 12 times for 54 yards (4.5 ypc) with a TD run.

I think Smith has to be the incumbent going into 2008. Dump Boller, maybe keep McNair as a veteran back-up and bring in a rook.

Smith is not the answer. He will probably be counted on to start teh next season, but they better have a backup plan.

I just don't see Smith as a long term solution...I do not think he is al lthat good...and he certainly doesn't have a lot of offensive weapons on this team to throw to. I would draft a quality QB this year...and I think they will be active in the free agent market.

Maybe Smith's the answer, maybe not. But of the three QBs on their roster right now, I like his odds the best. So give him a shot.
