Troy Smith is a good quarterback who deserves his chance to be a starting QB in this league. Sure, he's not prototypical but his intangibles are what makes him an intriguing prospect.Alex Smith doesn't inspire confidence, blames his teammates after losses, and has failed time and time again as the starter.Troy Smith has the ability to rally his teammates with his inspired play. He's not a polished passer but fights to keep plays alive, keeps his eyes downfield, and has scrambling ability. Bump up Vernon Davis, especially in this game. The Broncos LBs struggle in coverage and San Fran should find ways to isolate VD on someone like Jason Hunter/Mario Haggan. The Jags did it with Marcedes Lewis, the Jets did it with Dustin Keller, the Raiders did it with Zach Miller last week. Only in the Colts game was a TE bracketed by the Broncos defense. Everywhere Dallas Clark went the Broncos had 2 guys on him with S Renaldo Hill always over the top...usually is was rookie CB Perrish Cox underneath Clark. Add in the fact that young/inexperienced quarterbacks tend to lean on 'relief valve' receivers (TEs and RBs out of the backfield) and it equals a good game for Davis. What's the most important attribute for a QB? Confidence. Troy Smith carries himself well, has something to prove after never getting a shot with BMore (remember, he was in line to start until getting sick in the preseason of Flacco's rookie year).Finally, Troy Smith's confidence can rub off to the rest of the team. They will see him busting his balls to make a play, and they will want to fight for him.
