2003-2011 is more than "a few years." I believe it is more than double the minimum for qualifying for an NFL pension. According to Wikipedia, he started 42 games for the Ravens, which is 3rd most in franchise history.HearstMining said:
Where Garbers ranks wasn't my main point, was it?
First of all, I liked Garbers. He was resourceful, athletic, but inconsistent. That's why I said "EVEN Garbers, AT TIMES". People on this site griped about how he'd miss wide open receivers - because he did.
Boller got his brains beat in for his first three years, largely due to even worse coaching than Garbers had until he blossomed under Tedford. I'd argue his final year was better than Garbers' best as evidenced by the NFL drafting him - certainly too high, but he did stick in the league a few years and started several games.
