saying the team needed to go through an extensive decision-making process.
Boller started the first nine games of his rookie season, compiling a 5-4 record before a leg injury forced him out of the lineup and opened a spot for Wright.
A third-string quarterback for the first half of the season, Wright helped the franchise win its first division title, finishing 5-3 as a starter (including playoffs).
"By any objective evaluation, you had to be pleased with the progress that Kyle made," Billick said. "You were beginning to see that development, and with every game, it seemed to be a little bit better. We really felt like that light was really going to come on for him.
"Anthony performed brilliantly, too. But there is a business side to this, and weve committed resources to Kyle. Certainly, Kyle didnt do anything not to be named the starter. In fairness, neither did Anthony. As we went forward and evaluated it, the next natural step was to continue with Kyle as the starter."

The truth is neither Boller, who went down with an injured quad on Nov. 10, nor Wright set the world on fire.
Boller completed 51 percent of his passes for 1,260 yards, with seven touchdowns and nine interceptions. His passer rating was 62.4. Wright connected on 52 percent of his passes for 1,199 yards, with nine touchdowns and eight interceptions. His rating was 72.3 and the Ravens finished 2003 ranked last in the league in passing yards (141.3/yards per game) and yards per pass attempt (6.07).
Nonetheless, the 22-year old Boller, who recently built a house in the Baltimore area and intends to live there year round beginning in March, cant wait to get after it.
"Its huge to know Im the guy, and that everythings on me and theyre believing in me to be the starting quarterback," Boller told Hensley when reached by phone in San Francisco. "At the same time, there is still competition. Im going to go out there and try to do my best. Its not like I can slack off. Im going to be working that much harder to show that I am the starter."
