Yes, it's been reported that Boller is starting this weekend...
The job is Boller's -- baltimoresun.com (http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/football/bal-sp.boller18dec18,0,3044771.story)
Troy Smith is the future of that franchise...and I just can't foresee Brian Billick still there after this season. Even before the Miami debacle, the Ravens have lost 7 straight. And while he's won more than he's lost, he's 1-3 in the playoffs since 2000.
Kyle Boller was the product of a Cal system that allowed him to excel without being a good QB. When he was drafted by Billick, he was supposed to be the QB that Chris Redman wasn't and Billick's ego will not allow him to let go.
And while it's no surprise, last year's playoff apperance was their first since '03 (when Jamal Lewis went ape shit and it didn't matter who was handing the ball off to him, Boller was 5-3 as a starter that year before getting hurt) was with Steve McNair, not Boller at the helm. Boller is nothing more than a backup at best.
