Anybody here still want to get rid of Boldin this offseason?

Dude is still in beast mode.

[K-Dog]

Never did.
He is a beast, with attitude and a great player for the fans.

I love how he gives away every TD ball to a fan.

[SuggsBarber]

Ozzie will have to find a way to afford this dude next season.

q has been beasting since he got the knee surgery last year. knee surgery = time machine?

[Grendelwulf21]

I've been wondering why people wanted him gone in the first place? hopefully he wont be too much to keep

Best thing about Boldin: If it touches his hands, you can bet he's catching it. He's deceptively quick and clearly very strong. He is Mason on roids (figuratively, of course)

I love anquin Boldin.

I am not letting Ellerbe go to hold onto a receiver for one more year though. It doesn't make sense.

[H8R]

Q was ferocious ! I saw the killer instinct surface. I don't want it to go away!
I do think we need a restructure of his deal. I mean, heck... he may just hang them up.

[H8R]

I still say Ellerbe needs to show he can stay healthy. He hasn't proven that yet. No question, the dude is a beast!

[Cville-Raven]

Well now that Ray is retiring it will give us some cap room, not sure after the Flacco deal whether or not we can still keep him.

Hopefully we can keep everybody... Ray hanging them up that will help a little.

I don't understand this misconception. I don't think anyone said we wanted him to go. At least, I know I didn't. I said it's very realistic we won't keep him next year with our cap situation and free agents. I also said I would like to trade him before his decline, like Belichick. Boldin's one of my favorite Ravens. It's just going to be a challenge to keep him.

Also, we let go of guys like Mason, Heap, and Gregg, so he's not off limits. The difference is those guys reached their decline, whereas Boldin is still playing at a high level...for now.

Fact: Without Q... we wouldn't be where we are, right now.

The guy balled out yesterday better than any other receiver on any of the four remaining teams.

To lose him would be to lose a major staple of the offense.

I'm just letting you know we won't be able to keep boldin unless he takes a cut.

THIS! No one wants Anquan to go. People just realize that his salary is much too large for him to stick around.

[PuRock]

I think most everybody wants to keep Q. But from a business side, its a tough decision. We are heading towards some Cap issues.

But put that all aside for right now. Lets enjoy our two weeks in the sun and see where it leads us.

The folks pining for Q's release quoted stats saying he is not worth the money he is being paid because of low production. I guarantee those people are avid FF participants. smh


As someone mentioned, since having his meniscus repaired Q has been performing at the level we expected when he was brought to Bmore. He is one tough dude, has hands of steel and brings the intangibles to the locker room. Q is a Raven through and through and we need to find a way to keep him.

[Ravens<3]

Since Caldwell has been OC.... Boldin got blanked out vs Denver and sat out vs Cincy....So in 5 games his stats have been...

23 catches, 369 yards, 3 TDs.

The chemistry between him and Joe is amazing. He's finally getting played right, and is making a huge impact for us with his big plays at the right times.

We need him in our offense next season.

And incase anyones wondering here is Torrey, Jacoby & Pittas stats since Caldwells taken over..

Torrey- 15 rec, 300 yards, 3 TD.
Pitta- 21 rec, 318 yards, 4 TD.
Jacoby- 11 rec, 185 yards, 1 TD.

You're welcome.

I agree somewhat, but I can't stay we wouldn't be where we are right now without him, maybe doss would get more pass interference for yards XD Jk but I do love some Pitta and Smith, they seem to be awesome for the most part, I get so excited! but yeah Q is VERY excellent with the ball, it seems like he can catch a ball between players legs
