Player Notes

July 22, 2008
Troy Smith took the first snaps at practice Tuesday in red-zone drills, but went 1-for-5 with three interceptions, according to the Baltimore Sun. He also fumbled a snap. Rookie Joe Flacco only went 1-for-3 during the same drill, but his lone completion was a tough pass over the middle to Patrick Carter.

Our View:The quarterback battle in Baltimore should be among the closest in the league, with Smith the slight leader for the job heading into training camp.

July 13, 2008
Troy Smith is in the lead in the battle to become the starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens because of his lack of mistakes, according to Pro Football Weekly.

Our View:Smith is short (how can he possibly throw it over the head of 6-foot-9 left tackle Jared Gaither?) and his long wind-up means he is slow to get rid of the ball. That said, he obviously has talent so it would be interesting to watch what he could do with the ball. That said, stay away from him in fantasy leagues.

Don Banks of SI.com is on the Troy Smith bandwagon. He says Smith has made huge strides this offseason and is ahead of Kyle Boller on the depth chart. "When Cam (Cameron) was head coach at Indiana, he coached Antwaan Randle-El (at quarterback) and made him maybe the most dangerous player in college football," a Ravens source explains. "We're doing some very exciting things with Troy Smith, and he's much better than people are expecting." Banks adds that Smith's only competition for the Week 1 job is rookie Joe Flacco.

Our View:We'd be surprised if the Ravens pushed Flacco that quickly. Both Cameron and head coach John Harbaugh have been around situations with prized rookie passers (Donovan McNabb, Philip Rivers), and they're likely to show patience. Frankly, we're excited to see what Smith brings. We don't expect much fantasy value, but the former Heisman winner is a gamer with guts. A lack of size didn't stop Cameron from turning Drew Brees into a star. Why should it hurt Smith?

June 5, 2008
Troy Smith has to overcome the presence of Kyle Boller and Joe Flacco, but that doesn't mean that he hasn't impressed the Ravens to the point that whispers are starting to grow that he might have a legitimate shot to be behind center in Week 1, according to NFL.com.

Our View:Smith is a strong presence in the huddle and in the locker room who never takes a snap off. He continues to work hard despite some physical limitations, but it still appears that he may have actually played himself into a legitimate shot at starting this year.

May 28, 2008
Troy Smith has outplayed all other quarterbacks on the Ravens roster during minicamps, according to the Baltimore Sun. "I really love his confidence, because he believes there is nothing that he can't do playing the quarterback position," quarterbacks coach Hue Jackson said.

Our View:Coach John Harbaugh has said no one is going to win a position battle during minicamps, but Smith has at least showed so far that he deserves the starting job over Kyle Boller and Joe Flacco.
