Doesn't apply to Allen, dude. He simply didn't have enough quality receivers... ...and those stationary target nets are crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Baltimore needed a QB and Boller was the 3rd best QB available. They took a shot and it didn’t work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, it's not that they didn't notice those flaws on film. It's that they thought they could fix them. Obviously, you have to pick and choose what you think you can get away with. You all have to be confident in your ability to develop players to some extent. IIRC, the only guy who was viewed as a sure-fire pick that year was Palmer.
