The most blatant and indefensible hypocrisy I have ever seen

The Ravens still win the Super Bowl in 2012 without Boldin in 2013.

But trying to follow 5 different topics of discussion and 2 different poll questions related to the word Boldin in a 22 page thread is impossible. I thought the idea of a discussion board was to foster discussion.

The entire offense changed when the OC changed. That outside factor had a effect on all of them.

I agree. This board can use a little clutter. The bottom half on page 1 is full of threads that no one has responded to in 2 days. Things are way too quiet for the start of free agency.

Because they jam every thread that has a similar topic into one huge behemoth to keep the board free of "clutter". Which to me, kills discussion. If I start a thread or participate in one and then find it jammed into another with a similar topic, but with different conversations going on, it negatively effects the flow of the conversation. If there are multiple threads with similar but distinctly different conversations going on and you jam them all together, that singular thread becomes clutter in my opinion. If I participate in a thread and I can't find it on the 1st page, I look for it on the 2nd, and if it's not there, I go to the 3rd, it isn't hard to do. Certainly not as hard as wading through 20+ pages of what I would call cluttered thoughts. Maybe it's just me. No offense meant to Stinger.

I don't think it's a coincidence that he put up better numbers at the same time his QB started playing a ton better than he had in the 3 previous years.

And they put him in the slot. Cam horribly misused Q for years. I remember many games where he was only targeted 1 or 2 times his 1st 2 seasons here. That is inexcusable.You don't bring a guy in here to be the 1st option in the passing game and then only target him 2 times.

Tandon Doss. That is what he was drafted for right?

To go with the OP's premise, though no reasoning, I would say that Flacco and Boldin should not really be compared because Flacco is entering his prime years, and Boldin's best years are behind him.
