    Okay, Boller has been in the NFL for two season right? He seems to be "maturing" and even though it took a while, just think about this. Drew Brees, the quarterback for the San Diego Chargers, he struggled for 3 seasons. Look what he became? So do you think Boller will be a comeback player the next season?

    I would make this a poll but I don't have the option.

    He already has a great TE, and two good WRs. He looked really good last night

    For better or worse, things are starting to fall in place for Boller.

    I was hoping things wouldn't work out for him in Baltimore and that he'd make his way to S Fla.

    Ravens do need to draft a QB next year, but not a 1st rounder. He needs to be like a 2nd or 3rd to backup Boller. The only thing bad about Boller is that he gets nicked up and hasnt proven that he can go an entire year. Kyle Boller is looking to be a good QB, but he needs to get a quality backup behind him.

    I really think the Ravens need to draft a 1st round LB. Ray Lewis is getting older, and Suggs is their only real star.

    Bollers has played great the past two weeks. If the Ravens keep the pieces together and find a good RB they'll be good again I bet next year..

    I think you make a great point -- or at least provide yourself a legitmate shot at some hope -- although this is the end of Boller's third year, I believe. I guess he has been injured a lot. Also to be nitpicky, Brees only struggled for two years. He didn't play his first year except bits here and there.

    Obviously, Boller has some skills which helped him succeed in college. Some people take a while to adjust to the NFL, while some do not. Most veteran coaches tend to use the 3-year method. If you can't show that you're a big time player in 3 years, you typically won't stick around.

    Next week will be the end of Boller's third year. Whoever the coach is will have to decide whether the last few weeks are enough to grant him another year-plus there.

    Suggs is only star?
    What about Mcallister?
    What about Rolle?
    What about Ed Reed?

    Panthers only have one star - Steve Smith

    Boller looked good no doubt. But I dont see him as a playoff quarterback, if I needed him to come through in the clutch I dont know if I would be able to count on him. He looks good but we'll see........
