I've finally started to wear the Next Mrs. Rugby down. She admitted last night, after fighting it rabidly, that the name Troy is sounding better for a hypothetical son. I may have to hurry up and strike while the iron is hot.

?Kyle is our starting quarterback,? Ravens coach Brian Billick said. ?It?s nice to get Troy in a little bit just to get his feet wet. That was the intent of it. [He] did a couple things, and if that presents itself going forward, that would probably be a good thing. But our best chance to win going forward is Kyle Boller, and he?ll remain as the starter.?

kyle boller is never a best bet. if you're going to lose the rest of your games might as well lose with qb of future and not a broken down kyle boller

I agree. Boller has been a bust as a former first round draft pick. He's proven that he'll never be a starting QB in the NFL. Give Troy a chance.

Bring in Troy, he has earned a shot.

Sign Boeller and trade to get a highly coveted QB.. one like Brady Quinn. If the Ravens were smart.. they would trade Troy for Brady. [censored]in browns, drafting domers and [censored]. What the hell.

everyone loves troy!

Brian Billick is an idiot. Did he actually say Kyle Boller gives them the best chance to win? Alarm bells would be ringing if I were a Ratbirds fan.

Should the Ravens start Kyle Boller or Troy Smith at quarterback Sunday against the Dolphins?

The results may not be scientific, but the front office would be wise to listen to the fans on this Baltimore Sun poll.

Troy Smith will put butts on seats.

Let's not forget that there was a lot of debate about Troy right on this board. If they give him a shot, let him make a few mistakes while it slows down for him, and give him some support, he will be one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, in my opinion.

[RugbyBuck]

He's a better QB than a certain poochkiller.

Again, benching Boller is admitting they made a mistake giving him an extension earlier this year. They will give Kyle every opportunity to prove them right, rather than benching him and admitting they were wrong.

Just the way the NFL and many professional sports work.

Unfortunately I agree with everything you said. It is just a shame that Troy may not get a chance when it is painfully obvious that Boller is just not an NFL QB, he has the tools, but he just makes too many mistakes for even their defense (when it was dominating)

Well maybe with another abysmal effort (not much of a reach here) by Boller, they'll give Troy a shot in the last two games.

More likely the Ravens will fail to spit the bit against the hapless Phins - thus Billick gets to roll out Boller against the Seahawks, who will eat up the Dirty Birds and spit out the wishbone. Thus the last chance for Troy may come when the Ravens host the Steelers. Now, unless they are resting players for a play-off run, the Steelers will give Smith a much tougher starting gig than the perfect opportunity offered by a trip to Miami this weekend.

But, you know, playing Troy under center then would be just too logical.
