Wilson is so much better. Its not close

You cannot believe what you just wrote. Wilson starts in the NFL and won his first playoff game. I don't remember Troy Smith doing that. People need to realize drugs are bad for you.

No comparison..... Wilson is far superior, and is very impressive as a decision maker at this level. They have similar skill sets, but the NFL game is much faster.... obviously TS did not develop like Wilson....
LOVE Troy Smith though!!!!! scUM killer!!!!!!!!

I love Troy Smith to death and he won a heisman, but... R Wilson may as well be a 30 yr old vet in a 23 yr old body. He makes it look so easy and has the intangibles of someone that is clearly not a rookie. Bright future ahead of him

Smith put up numbers here because he was throwing to two 1st-round NFL draft picks and had two guys in the backfield who both left early. When he was in the NFL playing foes with equal talent they destroyed him, and his bad behavior resurfaced because he couldn't deal with it. Fairly predictable scenario based on his history dating to being expelled at St. Edward, which is why he was the last pick of the fifth round in the first place.
Wilson is a big-time player who raises the level of play of everyone around him and he's a class act, too.

Troy Smith wasnt the athlete that Russell Wilson is. This kid had an NFL ready body when he got to Wisconsin. I frankly thought that Troy was a bit too thick to run by the time he was a senior and he didnt have the arm that Wilson has. Wilson isnt much taller, but 6 ft, like Troy was is a bit small. Wilson being 6' 1 or whatever is just enough.

All that said, I do not think that Troy ever really got a shot. His career was over once they drafted Flacco.
