So how man think he will win the starting job. I think he has a very good chance. Kyle Boller and Troy Smith are not that good.

I am pretty sure that Boller will start the season as the QB, if the new regime has any faith in Troy Smith, they may cut Boller and start the season with Smith.
The word out of Baltimore is that they do not want to rush Flacco into action and he may not even get to see the field this season. If they struggle (as I think they are likely to do) ... he may start seeing the field mid-season.

He is no booty call, and is much uglier, but the flacco punch is strong

Well we will see what he has in the preseason August 16th. Should be fun to watch him in Baltimore.
