Anquan Boldin Defends Joe Flacco

PrintIt seems like the Baltimore Ravens QB Joe Joe Flacco is under the microscope dealing with a ton of criticism as he stands poised on the edge of the AFC Championship Game and perhaps a Super Bowl berth in only his fourth NFL season. Furthermore, he has not missed a single game since his career began and has made the playoffs in all four of his years as the Ravens are the only NFL team to make the post season the past four seasons.
Regardless, since he is not in the class of a Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees, much less his opponent on Sunday, New England Patriots QB Tom Brady, he is being picked apart by the media. However, his teammates are coming to his defense and while many others may have thought that safety Ed Reed threw him under the bus lately, he really actually was trying to say that he himself needed to step up his game as well.
Wide receiver Anquan Boldin also stuck up for Flacco recently in a story posted on Sports Radio Interviews. Boldin was interviewed by Phoenix radio station XTRA 910 to speak about his recent knee injury as well as his relationship with his QB. Here is a bit from the interview and click on the link above for the full story:
"I definitely think he’s not given his due credit for all that he does. I think people still kind of slight him. But I think for him, that’s motivation."

These distractions suck the life out of everyone involved...
This noise, in my humble opinion, really takes away from the tasks at hand. The tasks are: win this weekend and win two weeks after that… Nothing else matters… Nothing…
Tell us, what else do you feel Evan…

In the words of T.O. “That’s my quarterback man.”

He has been in the play offs four straight years
The Buffalo Bills went to the Super Bowl FOUR straight years came away with nothing. Joe is a good QB who is growing and with a better OC or at least a better filter (QB coach) will get better. Getting to the play offs four years straight is an accomplishment and Joe is a definite part of a team effort. The media wants spotlight stars that put the team on their backs all the time and give them sound bites ie Tom Brady. Ravens have players who give good sound bites TSizzle (by the way saw a good story on him on yahoo today) but on the field they are a team, a unit. The media can not stand this units do not cause drama. That is why they insisted on singling tebow while tebow was thanking his team for their team effort. I hope this makes sense. I love the Ravens and their style of football. I love the spirit of this team.
No way to know the effects till Sunday night, but what if Flacco plays horribly, and the Ravens still win? Can you imagine what the two weeks leading up to the Super Bowl are going to be like?
Can I get some hot sauce for my doughnut?
Incredibly stupid.
I love it knowing that there are a handful of Ravens fans in this area who despise the fact that Joe will be our QB for the next 10 years. --Mr. MaLoR

This is Joes time to shine.
the spotlight is on him for all the wrong reasons, this is his chance to prove all of the “experts” and haters wrong. But more so than proving anyone wrong, its his time to be the quarterback we all know him to be. There is a poll over on NFL.com right now asking if Joe is a top 10 quarterback, of 67,000 voters, 74% voted NO. Im done with the media, I can make it til Sunday with only you guys (and girls). 50 hours to go!
