Troy Smith The Baltimore Ravens signed former Pro Bowl quarterback Marc Bulger to either compete for the starting job or become the back-up quarterback to starter Joe Flacco.
Former Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith, who has been the Ravens' back-up quarterback for several years now, remains positive despite the competition.
Carroll County Times reporter Aaron Wilson writes how Smith has been demoted on the depth chart and his job security as far as a roster spot has taken a hit.
“I’m proud to have another teammate,” Smith said Wednesday morning during Ravens safety Ed Reed’s youth football camp. “He’s definitely a good guy. I’ve been a fan of his for a while. That side of what’s going on, I can’t control. I’ve said this time and time again: It’s definitely about me being back here. This is where I’ve been for a while getting better and working in our offense.”
If the Ravens don't keep Smith, a Glenville High School graduate, Wilson writes how the Philadelphia Eagles are interested in Smith. Safety Ed Reed supports Smith.
In a radio interview Tuesday, Reed said that Smith was more than capable of leading the Ravens to a Super Bowl title.
“I honestly think at the quarterback position Troy was the guy and is the guy, and he’s more than qualified to lead the team to a championship,” Reed said. “And I think that Marc Bulger is just another guy. He’s just another guy that has been in the league and been around.”
