Well, another week in the NFL has passed, which was also another disappointing performance by the Ravens. A change has to be made. Suspect play calling by Coach Billick, and poor performance at the quarterback position has led the Ravens to a 2-2 record and third place in the AFC North.
I have been hinting it since week one, but I kept my mouth shut because I don't believe the failure of a team can be put on be one person's shoulders, but it is time for Kyle Boller. Steve McNair hasn't been horribly bad, but I just can't take it anymore. There is no more blaming his "tweaked groin" anymore. He says he is completely healthy, so you can't make any more excuses.
Performance aside, I cannot take the lack of enthusiasm from Steve McNair anymore. It is like he doesn't even care. He throws a pick, throws a pass 6 feet too high and it looks like he doesn’t even care. He casually walks off the field and takes his chinstrap off. There is no emotion with this guy. There is also no sense of urgency. We are down 18 points in the middle of the third quarter and he is lackadaisically walking around in the huddle and throwing little 10 yards passes. THROW THE BALL DOWN FIELD! With Boller, you get the power arm, downfield passing capability, and a highly emotional guy who looks like he cares and who will light a spark for this offense. Billick better make a decision shortly or somebody will soon be on the coaching hot seat.

I'm not sure starting Boller will be the answer to the Ravens problems right now, but it sure couldn't hurt. Unfortunately Mcnair can't be blamed for a terrible secondary, an offsides on a field goal attempt, and a blatant disregard for McGahee's talents! With Boller maybe we'll see a bit more excitement down the field, but he can't make up for the lack of discipline shown by both the coach and our players. Here's another confusing stat - Stover has missed three field goals in four games! What's going on with this team?
As a fellow JETS fan I see a lot of similarities between an "older" McNair and a supposedly "healthy" Chad Pennington. Both are accurate and are known to make smart decisions, but their inability to throw the ball down the field affects the entire offense.
Boller has looked good in limited action, but can he sustain that?
