The quarterback controversy in Baltimore is a little different than the ones in Arizona and Chicago, but make no mistake: There's a real question of whether Ravens coach Brian Billick should pick Kyle Boller or Steve McNair as his starter.McNair was pulled for Boller in yesterday's win over the Cardinals, and although the reason was, ostensibly, McNair's groin injury, McNair said afterward that he could have played.
McNair then added: "It was the smart thing to do. We were up, and I think we wanted it to rest and heal. In this league, it takes two good quarterbacks to go where you want to go."I'm not really sure why you need two good quarterbacks -- I guess McNair thinks the Colts won the Super Bowl last year because they had both Peyton Manning and Jim Sorgi? -- but Billick seems to have a lot of faith in Boller. I think McNair is the better quarterback of the two, but I also think there's a good chance that Boller will keep getting playing time, even if McNair is 100 percent healthy.

It's weird with Boller. When he's the strating QB of the season he's not that good, but when he comes in as back-up and or starts a game in a season he's good?!?!?!
Is he just good when he's a back up, or has he progressed as a QB while watching Steve?

Kyle will be Kyle he could have been a good qb in the NFL but for some reason the Ravens can not get a good qb or make one, do not get me wrong steve is good but not the one, we need to look at free agents to get the man for the job MY BAD we did that before
keep play steve until he is no good to us and drop him like jamal lewis I do like kyle but I would like him more if he was not in baltimore
