Ravens Forced to Stick With Their Franchise QB
Several years ago an older gentleman who I would see at one of my favorite watering holes in Canton and who was a retired college professor, regularly expressed his frustrations with Brian Billick and Kyle Boller. He said that Billick was guilty of something he referred to as “escalation of commitment”.
Escalation of commitment refers to a pattern of behavior in which an individual or group will continue to rationalize their decisions, actions, and investments when faced with increasingly negative outcomes rather than alter their course.
