whiffed on every QB he's ever drafted but hes drafted guys that we could only dream that Scott Pioli drafted in the last 4 years. He's no joke except for the whole missing on the QB thing lol

Damn...that's one impressive freakin' list.
I don't know where I have him on my list just yet, but I know I have him in the top 4-5.
As to the Boller thing, I guess I give him a little more latitude there. A 1st round QB gets 3 years, IMO. After the 3rd year, you make your decision on him and move forward if he's not the answer.
Well - Billick benched Bollers ass after 3 years, did he not? He got his rookie year, his sophomore slump and then his year 3, do or die season. He died - Billick booted him to the bench. What's the problem with that? Kyle Boller was the backup in Baltimore his last 2 seasons there.
Wouldn't we all want Geno to get 3 seasons? Or Wilson? Or Barkley or Bray or whoever we draft high?
I'm not sure I see much to kill Billick on with Boller, he did what any of us would ask our GM/Coach to do of a highly touted QB prospect - give him his shot and cut bait if he doesn't hack it.
