Who knows what would have happened? He would have played for awhile keeping the seat warm for the 1st rounder, Flacco, who the Rats actually moved UP in the draft to get. First rounders don't typically ride the pine for very long when their team gives up draft picks to move up to get them.
The reason those names have been brought up is that they are names that have been linked to the Browns. Troy Smith's name has been brought up on NUMEROUS occasions being linked to the Browns and every time the Browns front office response has been "no thanks."
Currently he's third on the depth chart because Carr has been there all year and knows the playbook better. Smith has only been there a couple of weeks. Once Smith learns this new and completely different offense/playbook, he'll quickly move up the depth chart.
