Re: Rex Grossman Is Why Kyle Boller Should Not Start
Sorry dude, but the numbers just don't lie. Let's look at the only two years where the player started all 16 games...
415 attempts
216 complete for 52% accuracy
2665 yards
6.42 YPA
14 TDs
13 INTs
70.4 QB rating.
I guess Steve McNair is the same as Boller and Grossman. Stats don't lie after all."A moron, a rapist, and a Pittsburgh Steeler walk into a bar. He sits down and says, “Hi I’m Ben may I have a drink please?”

Re: Rex Grossman Is Why Kyle Boller Should Not Start
Honestly, you're all going to hate me...I'm no hater/hugger or anything...
But I've got a feeling Boller is going to be given another shot once McNair is out after next year. There is also the potential you could see a guy like David Carr get a shot in Baltimore or the chance to compete with Boller for the job.
We're not going to be in position to draft a top-flight prospect unless we really bomb next year.

Re: Rex Grossman Is Why Kyle Boller Should Not Start
I would agree with this argument if McNair had not been so successful in the years following. In fact, I am not arguing that Boller wont end up having a better career than Mac.
What I am arguing is this idea that Boller is somehow better than Grossman, when there is no actual evidence. So far, after one complete season, they both are equally (or too close to distinguish) bad.
Of course an opposite argument can also be made that Grossman hasn't shown himself to be much better than Boller.

Re: Rex Grossman Is Why Kyle Boller Should Not Start
Boller 04- 2nd year in the NFL
Grossman 06- 4th year in the NFL
This displays exactly what the Boller Bashers just dont get- you can't compare a young QB to one with more experince. Most qbs take time to progress, and many have bad starts. What you want to see is progress. Boller has shown his best most recently- in his past five regular season games, as well as the preseason. All but one of those games were impressive. We have not seen him get worse since- indicating that he might much better.

-Boller has a better arm. Of course that doesn't make a better QB, but it is a part the QB package.
-Grossman went to Florida. Really bad QBs come from Florida. Of course Boller is a Tedford product and they don't turn out all that great."A moron, a rapist, and a Pittsburgh Steeler walk into a bar. He sits down and says, “Hi I’m Ben may I have a drink please?”

Re: Rex Grossman Is Why Kyle Boller Should Not Start
You must be joking -- you are not arguing that Boller won't end up having a better career than McNair, but you are arguing that Boller is not better than Grossman??? So, should we infer that you think Grossman will have a better career than McNair? I doubt it.
Grossman could get better, like Boller has gotten better, but right now I'd take Boller over Grossman in a heartbeat.

Re: Rex Grossman Is Why Kyle Boller Should Not Start
Comparing Boller or Grossman to McNair is ludacris. Mac has started 3x the number of regular season games and has shown that he can win in the playoffs. They are barely in the same league.
Boller getting better? Sure, OK...but what does that have to do with comparing Boller to Grossman now?

Re: Rex Grossman Is Why Kyle Boller Should Not Start
One game is not called regressing. Every qb has bad games (even Steve McNair - see playoff game aganst the Colts- much worse than Boller in Cleveland BTW). The Browns game was not atrocious either. Factoring in the following preseason and two games that he played in the regular season you have to wonder why the only thing you can focus is on his one bad game in that stretch?
That is not called inconsistant.

Re: Rex Grossman Is Why Kyle Boller Should Not Start
Tex, they are not the same. Did you not read my posts, or do you just disagree?
Kyle *is* inconsistent, but he has gotten better over time. Rex has started fewer games and he may become more consistent, but so far he has only regressed as far as I can tell.
One thing Kyle has always been able to do, is to shake off mistakes and come back and play well. He does not get rattled, and Rex does.
That makes him a better quarterback.
Would it be too much to ask for you to stop laughing at everyone you disagree with? You *do* understand you are in a very small minority, so you end up laughing at pretty much everybody who bothers to respond to you, don't you?Festivus

Tex is going to take a run at the Eiffel Tower doing his best Don Quixote and he is determined to make that damn thing lean just like that damn tower in Rome...Venice...err...Pisa?
Oh, and Tex, the only lean to the Eiffel Tower is when the girders exposed to the sun expand due to heat and grow a few centimeters more than the unheated ones. Something not perceptible to the human eye.
