Alright kids, trip on this.
Blaming the Flacco contract for the Boldin move is ridiculous. Joe's hit on the cap is only 7 mil. Boldin is gone because management did not want him at 6 mil. He's a great reciever but he's getting older. You're really going to see older reciecers become as disposable as running backs. They'll love you until they feel you're getting used up.
Second, people thinking the playoffs were a fluke and the offense is going to regress are failing to understand that we got rid of the biggest hinderance, Cam Cameron. Once Jim Caldwell really started putting his stamp on it the whole system really started to gel. Joe is going to have a career year in 2013 with a Caldwell system, two beast RBs, and a great receiving corp. I'm talking Rice, Pierce, Smith, Jones, Pitta, and more.
And let's not forget this was only Joe's fifth year in the leauge. His worst plays came in his rookie and sophmore seasons. He has done nothing but grow in ability and confidence. In all honesty this Super Bowl should of been his repeat trip, not his first. I can think of about 27 teams that would be better with Flacco at QB.
Nobody wins a Super Bowl by themselves but Flacco was a big reason that they did. Just think of how many teams have won it all compared to how many there are and you'll understand that every SB win is special and I'll let nothing spoil that.
