Many times he takes hits because he doesn't slide or move away from the pressure.
You appear to have a pretty selective memory. It's true that Boller is not the best we've seen at avoiding a rush, but on the other hand, he's also done it plenty of times. Of course, that's largely because he's had plenty of practice.

I've heard this argument that McNair didn't get sacked so much last year because he was so good at avoiding it, but what has happened to him this year? He can't avoid the rush much this season, and can't even stay healthy enough to play. Could the OL have something to do with that?

Of course the lack of respectable pass protection has a lot to do with it, but nooooo, to a certain lunatic fringe segment of fans, it's got to be Boller's fault.

To anyone who has watched the games this year, this is a ridiculous point of view.
