They had 2 QBs, one was a proven non-starter and the other shows great potential but is still unknown. Even if Troy pans out, he needs a backup and they would not be keeping Boller much longer in that situation.

Disagree. They seriously fucked up by not loading up on o-linemen and receivers. They had one of the worst drafts on paper. They traded up to get a QB with serious flaws(only threw 23 td's at the 1-aa level, competition, spread offense, weird throwing motion, etc.) when in all likelyhood he would've been there later(reeks of when Kyle Boller drafted). Then they took a small runningback with over 900 career carries in college when they already have McGahee and Ross(another tiny runningback). Then they took Zbikowski who will never amount to anything other than a special teams player. They didn't address the o-line until late in the 3rd round.
The Browns laid out the blueprint for drafting a good offense. They got the pieces in place(Edwards, Winslow, Thomas) and then took their QB of the future. The Ravens can't seem to get it through their heads that a lot of a QB's success depends on how much time he has to throw. If his receivers can't get open and his line can't protect him, it doesn't matter if they have the second coming of John Elway back there.
