Q Gives His Take on Mutiny-Gate

**HoustonRaven** · 04-03-2013, 11:52 AM

He's on SXM NFL Radio right now.

Basically gave Harbs all the props. Said the "a few" players spoke out to Harbs in a manner that was less than professional.

Harbs, according to Q, simply took a step back and listened to the players, even going so far as to solicit opinions from the quiet players as well.

By weeks end, the team was on different level in terms of unity and that locker room was solidly behind Harbs.

I'm going to take a leap and say Pollard was one of the few players that spoke out in a less than professional manner.

I'm going to take a BIG leap...

Florio and the rumor mongers are sitting there trying to dream up the next spinster tale to throw dirt on us. Love how EVERY SINGLE PLAYER that was moved "because of the mutiny" has come out and been like "You serious? Nope, not even a little"

I am really glad to see Boldin be professional about the whole thing.

One of the many reasons I really like Boldin. 100% class act. Really can't say anything bad about the guy.

I've heard him speak and the guy is a complete class act. However, in the March 6, 2013 edition of ESPN Magazine (pre-trade), he was asked this and responded:

You've said you'd rather retire than go to another team. You really mean that?

I'm not playing for money. I'm not chasing a championship. I don't play for individual accolades. I'm set. There's nothing else I have to prove.

If he was really set and not playing for the money, and loved playing for Baltimore, then why didn't he just take the pay cut? It's obvious that the Ravens were not trying to rid themselves of him, or they wouldn't have given him that option. His actions just don't seem to match his comment, which is somewhat surprising.

I don't get why this is upsetting posters.

Something happened that Harbaugh did not like.

There are 2 players who are being referred to as the root of that "incident" and I don't think it's a leap to conclude that it, along with other incidents that none of us have an idea about caused Pollard's release and may have played a small role in the lack of urgency for Ed being re-signed.

Even if everything "evil PFT" has inferred about that incident is true, I don't see how it reflects bad on the organization from the media, other fans or players. So a coach that just won a Super Bowl didn't like being challenged by what Q is calling an "unproffessional" manner. So what? One replaceable player was released and an ICON in the late December of his career are gone. So? He didn't cut Flacco or Rice or Torrey...the core of our team is still here.

How do some of you let that stuff bother you this much? I don't even think the PFT, or Preston's statement are inflammatory in any way at all unless you just want to hear all rainbows and roses about the Ravens 24x7.

Less than professional? Whatever. Although that may have factored in some small way into the decision, in one case Reed wanted too much money, and Pollard's style of play in the NFL is done, as the NFL is going to police the big hits even more this year.

Yea, but if Rice, Torrey, or Flacco assume the role of NFLPA rep for the Ravens, then Harbs will definitely cut those guys next.

*sigh* Mountain meet molehill. The whole "incident" I mean. Move along, nothing to see here.

First off, I don't think anyone is "upset". That's an exaggeration.

People don't like PFT or Preston not because they say negative things about their team - they don't like them because these guys only write things to "stir the pot".

Not liking something, or pointing out the tabloid nature of their "reporting" is hardly getting "upset", or being "thin skinned".

The way some people around here defend PFT or other reporters and then accuse Ravens fans for being thin skinned is rather ironic. Pot meet kettle.
