I think he looked great tonight. Relaxed. In charge. No histrionics when that idiot dropped two well thrown passes out of the backfield. The announcers like him too. I say, if they don't want him, let him go somewhere that does, because he is going to shine.

Troy looks good. Looks confident. I would love to see him with the first or even second team. It was nice to hear him getting respect from Michaels and Madden too.

That is huge for a rookie to get talked about like that on national tv. Even teams that might have blew him off during the draft will realize that he not only has the skills to play, but also the type of "face" an NFL QB should have...unlike another more troubled QB in the news.

I thought troy looked good. Moved well in the pocket, showed good poise, touch (unlike last week), and used his feet to set up the pass.

Problem is, his targets were awful. Last week he was the victim of 5+ drops. This week a number of catchable balls were missed (two in the flats, that deep pattern in the EZ should have been caught, as Madden mentioned by criticizing the WR for looking back too early).

That rollout and tippy-toe down the sideline was a good play (despite it ending the drive), but his WRs didn't bother to come back to him. You could see his frustration afterwards. He bought more than enough time for them to break free.

Maybe when he's started for 9 years, then Snyder will pick him up. :smash:

I was hoping he'd land in Chicago on draft day, given Grossman's issues.

I still think the Ravens will keep him. He's just too talented and smart a player to just kick to the curb.

Agreed. The 'insiders' from the ravens $ board seemed to think it was not an even battle between Olson & Smith, as in Troy was given an edge (probably due to upside) beyond their actual performances.
