MVP
Would you believe I had that same one saved as of a few days ago?
I am not ashamed to admit. I am a Kyle Boller fan.
Now don't get me wrong. I know he would never have been elite or what have you. But he was good. Sometimes very good ( see the undefeated Patriots game ) And yes sometimes he was very bad.
I always felt like he was on the brink of putting all the pieces together and figuring it out.
Any QB if they got knocked around as much as Boller did would be a good bit shell shocked.
If he could have had a little better protection and calmed down a good bit, he would have been more consistent.
I remember when he got hurt and had to leave the game. The "fans" at the stadium cheered.
Apparently Boller asked a teammate "Are they cheering because I got hurt? "
It was a shameful moment for sure.
He took abuse from every direction. He never pointed the finger. He never chucked the blame. He was more often than not good and classy to the fans and media.
I hate the way things ended here for Kyle Boller. Although it opened the door for Flacco I really felt like he deserved to leave under better terms and conditions.
Unfortunately he couldn't really get it together in Oakland either. He retired mediocre at best, I personally thought it could have been more than that.
