Honestly I watched Boller a lot toward the end of the year last year and I liked what I saw. His problem is confidence more than anything else and I think he gained some at the end of last year. I think if I'm the Ravens I want to see a continued evolution of Boller and the best way to do that is bring in someone that will push him. Anthony Wright certainly isn't gonna push him.
Dr D,
What exactly did you like what you saw out of Boller? As a season ticket holder, I bear the guy no ill will as he seems like a heck of a nice kid that really does whatever he can to help the team (he is the Heinz Ward of QBs in terms of blocking - but that doesn't win you many games).
You are right in that his confidence is shot, which to a large extent you have to lay at Billick's feet for rushing him into the starting position, but as I see it, his problem is an inability to read and react. He does a solid job when the primary read is open, but when he has to make a second look, he is a deer in the headlights. And for those looking to blame the O-line, while that does contribute to his problems, he has looked plenty horrible even when he has had more than ample time to throw.
If the primary is covered, he is toast - can he overcome this -
