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.

ill go back and look but I believe during that draft they took a risk, they either traded up for Suggs or traded back up for Boller, forfeiting their 1st pick for the following season.
Billick will take a risk, and not a Scooter Pioli mid round trade up to draft a brokedick TE while Jimmy Graham is still on the board type risk either. An actual go get the QB high gamble and hope for the best risk
