We barely knew him.

Couldn't see if this was posted anywhere else, but the great Kyle Boller has hung up his cleats ... one day after signing with the Chargers. To quote PFT, "[t]he 19th overall pick in the 2003 draft, Boller finishes with a 48:54 touchdown-to-interception ratio and 56.7 completion rate. He went 20-27 in 47 career starts."

Sorry, I didn't see that. Sorry for a double posting.

Sources are reporting that old19fan has bought a chain of "Gas-and-Go's", and has proffered Boller with a position as General Manager and TEO (Tactical Executive Officer)....

Boller. The man. The myth. The legend.

And he made enough money that his kids kids are set. If he didn't waste it the trailer trash of Hollywood : Paris Hilton, Tara Reid and Lindsay Logan.

I remember when he was cheered because he was hurt in a game at M&T. He never said a bad word or never made any foul statements towards fans or the Ravens when he walked away.
He was not a great QB but the dude could hurl the football through goal posts from his knees.

I was at the Colts game. Half the crowd was cheering, and then fights started breaking out in different parts of the stadium between haters and supporters. It was crazy seeing Ravens fans fighting Ravens fans LOL.
I always wanted to see the tv broadcast of that game to see what the announcers reaction to the cheering, if it was audible to them

I wish Kyle well. Yes, he played with a lot of heart and took all that heat in stride.

As for signing with the Chargers, maybe they were looking for a camp arm and he decided he wasn't up for it.

**StingerNLG** · 07-29-2012, 09:56 AM

It is a shame he never turned into anything. He gave his all, took a massive beating, and had heart. Unfortunately none of which turned into results on the field. I wish him well.

Kyle is a good dude. I wish the best for him.

**HoustonRaven** · 07-29-2012, 01:58 PM

Did he play against the Seahawks during that comeback game in 2003? Or was that Anthony Wright?

**pslholder96** · 07-29-2012, 02:14 PM

That was Anthony Wright who became the full time starter after Kyle got injured earlier in the year against the Rams.

Ah. Thanks.

He did have a pretty nice come from behind win against the Jets I believe. Not sure what year though.

Wasn't there a good comeback against the Texans one year? Or was that just a good game he had?

He had a couple really good games I think in 07 against the Vikings and Packers. They were just so few and far between.

I think that was 2005. He came on strong at the end of the 2005 season but of course that offseason, the Ravens went out and traded for Steve McNair.

It's hard to say whose fault it is for the way Boller turned out. His mental makeup and talent are probably as much to blame as the Ravens failure to provide him with weapons and protection.

**DarthCorvax** · 07-29-2012, 11:19 PM

I wish Kyle well. I still rock my #7 Boller jersey.

**FellsPointRaven** · 07-30-2012, 05:25 AM

Kyle had three really good games. Jets '04, Vikes '05 and Packers '05. Actually, Pats '07 was a pretty good one too, until that terrible late INT that changed the momentum a bit.

Unfortunately that was about it.

Still, I backed him hard and always wanted him to do well when he was here, mainly because he tried his arse off and because he was our starting QB, whether I liked it or not. Unfortunately he was a decent athlete but did not have the mental acuity to be a starting NFL quarterback.

Still, he provided HOURS of debate - not least with WestSideOzzie on the old board. RIP Dawson Creek.
