    This will probably end his career as a Raven. He's a FA at the end of the yr, and it's probably unlikely they bring him back.

    That sucks.

    Though, with Flacco as the heir apparent anyway... he might have gone elsewhere to try and compete for a starting role. Dunno.

    I wanted them to get rid of Boller at the end of last yr, and the yr before that. Sucks that's he hurt. He' can be a valuable backup. But I anticipate he'll land somewhere next yr. Maybe new scenary will be good for him.

    I really hope either Flacco or Troy pan out. It's beyond tedious not having a QB.

    Tell me about it.

    It takes forever to find a good QB; but once you have one, boy is it nice...

    How has Flacco looked in preseason/training camp?

    I like Boller over Tuiasosopo, that's for sure. Tui is almost 30, and still can't grasp defenses. His biggest upside is still running the ball on a broken play. lol?

    No doubt. It's probably great to not have worry about that. Pretty amazing how rare it is to find a good QB. Not many out there. It's gonna even get harder to project with all the spread offenses in college.

    He looked like a deer in the headlights against NE. Against the Rams, he sucked the 1st half, but did better the next half. Then against ATL, he played well with the 1st team going 8/13 for 72 yrds. Actually out played Matt Ryan, who went 2-7 for 17 yrds. At least, he showed some progression in albeit a sample size.
