I thought his size and character issues were much worse than his mental abiity questions. I'm not concerned with his 'character issues', personally. I think he has learned from his mistakes. His size is certainly a concern, but it's not like shorter QB's can't be successful. See: Drew Brees.

I'm just glad to have Moss off my team. He contributed absolutely nothing in his laughable stint in Oakland.

Because he doesn't have the mental ability to actually play at a high level in the NFL. I like him and everything, and I'd like him to succeed, but he's basically Seneca Wallace 2.0. ... As you can see, I still love Seneca. Just curious do you even follow college sports.I only ask cause it's amazing people are quick to make judgements when they don't even follow the sport.Then again i bet only a handful of you guys watch Ncaa so did it really matter who your team drafted? No, actually; I decided I liked Seneca Wallace based on all the success he has had in the NFL. ...

Randy Moss is going to have a better year in 2007 than he has had in Oakland because the team has more than one decent offensive player.

Yah I 100% disagree with Kliquid, Baltimore wouldn't have taken him if they didnt think he could eventually be at least their backup.
Anyways, for the price of Moss it was a great move, it might not work out but so what. We have so many "One year deals" at WR, that whoever does work out...will stay.
5 guys on contract years...I'll take it

I mean that he'll never be a starter in the NFL. Of course he's going to earn a backup job, especially early in his career... But I don't think Baltimore is kidding themselves into believe that he is their "quarterback of the future."

But he iz a winner Heisman trophy candidate natural athlete!!!1111
Yeah, I don't see him doing much more than a pot of coffee, emergency backup QB/RB/KR. Teams will draft, thinking they have their next undiscovered gem like Brady or Hasselbeck, when it's not that way for most of these guys. Smith is a good leader and is a great athlete, but so was Rohan Davey.

It feels good to know, that a player from my high school got drafted by the lions. Ikaika lama francis, was their round 2 pick. He graduated a year before i went there, but its still awesome to know he went to my school. And he didnt even play football at kalaheo, he was a basketball and volleyball star there. www.nfl.com/draft/profiles/2007/alama-francis_ikaika

I think Peter King is kinda a pain in the balls at times, but heres his take on Troy Smith:
7. I think I'd like to hear the defensive comments four years from now from scouts when they are asked to justify how Troy Smith went with the last pick of the fifth round. This isn't Charlie Ward, people. This is a guy who played at a high level until the last game of his college football career. And he goes 174th? I almost would call that irresponsible. Troy Smith went two picks after Legedu Naanee, for crying out loud. Smith's the same height as Drew Brees, people!

See Jason White, Eric Crouch, Chris Weinke, Danny Wuerffel, Gino Torretta, Ty Detmer, Andre Ware... The list goes on. Just because you played at a high-level in college doesn't mean you're going to be able to translate that - or even be given the chance - in the NFL.

Why are you such a hater on Troy Smith? Everyone, even all the experts think hes gonna be fine, you are the only one who thinks hes gonna be a WR. What did this man ever do to you? You are not a Michigan fan? You are not a Brown fan? So I dont know where the hatred and utter disrespect for this guy comes from.

I also like Clarence Moore. That doesn't mean he's a great player.

Troy Smith will be fine in the NFL. He's a smart player with talent to boot. He'll be alright. If he doens't become a superstar right away who cares. I mean come on, Tony Romo, how long was he in the league before starting?
