What I thought was amusing about Meyer's comments... after conceding you don't stop Smith, you try and contain him, he twice listed off QBs with athletic ability being difference makers. His list? Smith - that is Troy. Alex Smith. Chris Leak. Brady Quinn.
Troy Smith - yes
Alex Smith - Ok, in college, I'll give Meyer a pass on this, though I'm not quick to agree with his assessment. And, Meyer certainly knows Alex Smith a shitload better than me.
Quinn - Athletic? No. Proven "big game player?" Hardly
Leak? Are you fucking kidding me? Is your QBs ego so fragile that you have to include him - not once, but twice - in your discussion of great "how do you stop em" QBs? I mean, I certainly understand why a coach would toss some props to his starting QB. That's reasonable. But come on.... Chris Leak in the same sentence as Troy Smith where "how do you stop him" is the talking point? Please.
