Mr. and Mr. Smith

I get that Smith is a common-enough name, but who knew there were two quarterbacks named Smith, let alone two mediocre ones, let alone two mediocre ones playing on the same team in the NFL?

Considered by many to be a bust and a waste of a number-one overall pick (2005 draft), San Francisco 49ers QB Alex Smith has been sidelined with a separated shoulder, forcing head coach Mike Singletary to go with Troy Smith. Sure Troy is a Heisman Trophy winner (2006), but the last time I checked that meant he was the best player in college football, not the NFL, and besides the dude wasn't even good enough to back up the Baltimore Ravens' Joe Flacco, getting bumped in favour of Marc Bulger and then signing with San Francisco on September 6.



Please note that second video is of Flacco getting intercepted by Pittsburgh Steeler Troy Polamalus, as there are so few highlights of Troy Smith out there. He did only last start a game in 2008 after all.
