going on memory here, i didnt have hard evidence or anything lol, i just dont recall boldin doing much in the playoffs before the SB run, if im wrong im wrong though, nbd. and like i said, i consider the boldin tenure a booming success, i appreciate what hes done for us, but when so much of the fanbases idea of getting back to the sb is "cut flacco, re-sign boldin!"(an exaggeration, but you get the point lol) then its gotta be put in context, boldin never cracked 1000 with us, he basically averaged just shy of 900 a year(numbers check?) and what, 4 tds a year? and he never even sniffed 80 catches. i admit that the system was awful, he isnt a coryell guy, so it could have been much better, but the fact is that he just didnt show up consistently. he may have been solid in his first 2 playoff performances with us, but he wasnt changing games, taking over games, etc. he was just kinda there making the occasional catch, as far as i can recall. that SB run really put some rose tinted glasses on everyones face
