Stop throwing to Boldin- too slow with bad hands.

**Boulderraven** · 12-16-2012, 03:01 PM

If the Ravens continue to run the pass offense through Boldin instead of Smith and Jones the passing offense will struggle. Too many targets per completion rate for possession WR. That's Ravens fault, outside of line play.

**bacchys** · 12-16-2012, 03:03 PM

Sadly, it does seem that way. I've been a fan of his since before the Ravens brought him here, and I've long thought they didn't throw it to him enough. But the last several weeks, he hasn't looked like Boldin. He's been getting out-muscled.

**runrayrun27** · 12-16-2012, 03:07 PM

Didn't he have 2 TD's last game? Yeah the last several weeks have been horrible. Condemn him on this game, don't say ridiculous thing like the last several weeks he's looked bad. Fuck I can't stand this board sometimes. What the fuck have you been watching

Week prior he did, but was covered by a DB who was walking in crutches all week and still only caught 3 passes.

"Boldin does not have the speed to be a starting WR in the NFL anymore and doesn't run precise routes either"
He was very surprised he still starts. Has extremely low completion rate per targets for a possession WR.

" he also said Ravens are better off with Jones on the Feild"

He is knowledgeable and should know.

**Boulderraven** · 12-16-2012, 05:34 PM

He also noted when Jones was on the Feild the corners played a few yards back and Safties 5 yards deeper. Going into the game Denver was more concerned with Jones and Pitta then just Boldin and Smith.

Why they put boldin on the outside is beyond me. He should only work from the slot

Boldin has been a great WR but his time in with the Ravens is over after this year. The guy is a stud and maybe a real Super Bowl contender could pick him up next year.

**Corey** · 12-16-2012, 05:45 PM

He doesn't have the speed to be streaking down the fucking field. All the guys we have that have young legs and we are sending Q on deep routes.

**Sua Sponte** · 12-16-2012, 06:10 PM

I agree Boldin did not live up to the hype in my opinion I never really thought he would be a #1 anyway but he almost never gets separation and he still runs 9 routes. I did not really expect to much change in one week there is a bad system in place and it will takea while to get out of the horrible routes and habits. Boldin is done, after seeing Doss today and Boldin atittude its time to bring in some young guys at WR

I seriously doubt McCaffery...slow ass McCaffery would say that.

**Justlovemybirds** · 12-16-2012, 06:16 PM

He's misused, keep him almost exclusively in the slot while running the occasional deep pattern

Mccaffrey was alot faster than people think and a very precise route runner with stick em hands. He was also very smart and almost 6'4.

Receiving issues aside, he needs to knock it off with the penalty crap.

Agreed he loses his cool way to often, mainly cause he can't get open anymore and gets frustrated.

I've been watching the games. Yes, I know he had 2 TD's last week. He also was muscled out of a couple of catches the same game. He was out-muscled a few times against Pitt, too.

He's had more drops of late than one would expect given his career, and he's not blocking out defenders like he used to do. That he caught a couple of TD's doesn't change that. He's not playing like the guy we've seen take over games in his time here.

**Sua Sponte** · 12-16-2012, 10:40 PM

He rarely gets separation and his hands are gone. It's time to move on, the FO went after the wrong WR and it boggled me when they did, thinking he would or could be a # 1. He benefitted from Fitz, Kurt Warner and a very good scheme.

He's supposed to show veteran leadership. He looks like a damn fool out there half the time, yelling and screaming and pushing and shoving.

Paying $6M to 33 year olds (Boldin's age in Oct 2013) is not part of the solution. But if we do then it will be the continuation of one of our problems. Too much money tied up (or potentially tied up) in guys that are not producing as expected.

I do not expect Boldin to be on our roster at all in 2013. If he is then I really hope he's a whole lot cheaper. Shame on our FO if he isn't.
Pitta is Joe's safety blanket and in a better scheme maybe Torrey, Doss or some 2013 4th rounder will be running free all day, or at least leaving Pitta in beatable 1-on-1's.

Tough medicine in 2013 can put us back in the mix for 2014.
