Boller to Start at Quarterback for Ravens

Kyle Boller will reportedly be starting at quarterback for the Ravens in this weekend’s game against the Seattle Seahawks. This despite rumors Troy Smith may have earned the start after his performance against the Miami Dolphins that nearly led to a victory.

The idea behind it is clear: start a veteran who has more experience in these kinds of games to put the Ravens in the best position to win. Will it work? Who knows. But after eight consecutive losses, it makes sense that Brian Billick would want to win this game more than most.

And Boller hasn’t been bad this season. He’s had some rough patches, but he’s also shown a lot of maturity from his earlier years in the league and, in my opinion, earned the right to keep his spot as the starter through the end of the season. It seems Billick has similar feelings.
