Matt Ryan is on now (12/28) on ESPN
He just threw for a touchdown in the second quarter to a WR in stride in the back of the endzone. Michigan State has been giving him pressure the whole night so far and he's played well for what I've seen......
I still think we'll end up with Chris Long in the draft, but if we pick up Ryan I won't be too disappointed....

Re: Matt Ryan is on now (12/28) on ESPN
If people think we're getting Ryan or any of the top tier QB's this draft, I have a tunnel in Baltimore to sell you.
Billick will NEVER allow his ego to start any other QB next year other than McBoller.

Re: Matt Ryan is on now (12/28) on ESPN
Really? Ask Troy Smith about that.
With one year left on both McNair's and Boller contract, IF someone is drafted, they see time albeit limited. Billick is loyal to a fault and will not even look at a QB in the draft unless instructed to do so. Even then, no telling if that new QB even sees the field if McBoller are still in the mix.
Because he has in EVERY draft since he has been with the team ... uhh, hello ... Kyle Boller was his hand-picked QB.

Re: Matt Ryan is on now (12/28) on ESPN
When did Billick get to start handing in the draft card? Are you now saying Ozzie is not the decision maker on the team?

Let's bury this hand-picked QB crap once and for all, shall we?

Re: Matt Ryan is on now (12/28) on ESPN
I was countering someone elses point that Billick has NO say, which is false.
Three folks from the Ravens make the trip to NYC -- Bisciotti, Ozzie and Billick. While final decision rests with Ozzie, Billick DOES have a huge say in who we draft as does any head coach.
Yes, the Ravens wanted Leftwich. That doesnt mean Billick was ONLY looking at Leftwich. Billick has long ties to the Pac-10 and had his eyes on Boller from his sophomore year at Cal. In that respect, Boller was Billick's guy in that neither Ozzie or Modell had their eyes on him.

Re: Matt Ryan is on now (12/28) on ESPN
What the hell is a McBoller?
Nothing, and I repeat *nothing*, has happened on this earth to make me think Billick would not upgrade at the quarterback position, given the opportunity. Do the names 'Elvis Grbac' and 'Trent Dilfer' ring a bell? How about the names 'Kyle Boller' and 'Steve McNair'?
All the brainiacs in fandom repeating each other like parrots that Billick is too proud to replace Boller, are just plain wrong. Hell, he's already done it once.
:brickwall:
edit: All those correctly pointing out Newsome is the *one* personnel guy are of course, umm, correct. Sorry Billick scapegoaters.Festivus
His definitions and arguments were so clear in his own mind that he was unable to understand how any reasonable person could honestly differ with him.

Re: Matt Ryan is on now (12/28) on ESPN
I have a strange feeling about Matt Ryan. Yes he is set up already to be a pro QB. But something just doesn't sit right about him.Maybe it all sounds to easy that he will be a great NFL QB. Or maybe I just don't want to condemn him to this offense.
Put the smile back on your face.This is a 60 minute ball game.

Re: Matt Ryan is on now (12/28) on ESPN
Yes, Billick is in the war room with them. But the final say is Ozzie Newsome. Eric Decosta and Ozzie are the two main guys. And when he was here, so was Phil Savage. Billick gives his input, but he is hardly even a decision maker in the process.
And of course they were looking at Boller. They were looking at all the QB's in that class, since they needed one. That doesn't mean Billick was lobbying for Boller and Newsome said he was getting Leftwich instead. They were all on the same page as to getting Leftwich. Billick has said this, and Ozzie has said this.
And if Ozzie didn't want to draft Boller, he wouldn't have.
