Ravens QB situation
Nov 14, 2007 | 1:56PM | report this
First and foremost ... I consider myself as a pretty knowledegable football nut. Lets get this started. Kyle Boller's career with the Ravens has been a somewhat bad start. He's been there four years and has not been given a fair shot. I said it. A fair shot. I love Direct TV. Get every game. I've watched 99% of Kyle's games he has played in. He has dealt with his offense that has had problem after problem. Players hurt or in jail or whatever, major players .. not lowly players either. He has not been surrounded by the complete talent the Ravens have assembled over the years. Yea .. you can say that for a lot of teams, but I've seen the circumstances that this guy has had to play through. The offense is set up to pound the ball .. the line does not pass block at all .. over the last four years they have not protected the QB. Look at the Patriots or the Colts .. what are they doing that their QB is not getting hit .. study those films and make it happen.  Yea ... the line needs to be overhauled ... the Ravens need to strengthen their offensive line in order to compete. Their play calling is so predictable that it is ridiculous... They need to roll their QB ... especially Boller .. out of the pocket .. start pounding the ball right away and tell the damn line that it is up to them to get the game started correctly. If the run gets established right off the start .. then play action is going to work .. and roll the damn QB out .. Boller can run .. he is an athlete. I've seen Boller this year reverting back to his first two years .. feet to choppy .. looks nervous... Boller's best games came in late Nov and the month of December the year before Mcnair showed up. He was coming out .. then the dumb #### sat him on the bench for a guy that can not hold the ball. Mcnair was a great QB ... don't get me wrong. But his time has come to step to the side and play the next roll .. to help his team win .. by helping the kid gain confidence and learn what the best things are to do in certain situations. Boller is a good QB  ... the play calling needs to be better .. the line needs to block better all around .. run and pass .. roll the QB out .. and the defense is awesome  .. as long as their stud cornerbacks are in .. the complete starting Defense that is.  I truly believe the Ravens can start going in the right direction and see what works with Kyle .. rolling him out .. injuries are going to happen ... but they can not leave the QB in the pocket when the line cannot give him time!
