Would Anquan Boldin Be a Good Fit With the Ravens?

Would Anquan Boldin be a good fit for the Ravens?  In a word, yes.

Not just because of his talent, size, and speed, but because the pieces around him will make him better. Anquan Boldin would be a perfect fit with the Baltimore Ravens because unlike teams like the Washington Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles, there is no great pressure on one component of the offense.

Think about it. Philly would need Boldin to come in and be Terrell Owens without the back-talk. They have a nice complement in DeSean Jackson, but still rely heavily on the passing of Donovan McNabb, which we’ve seen in the past, makes them good in the regular season but not good enough to elevate to the Super Bowl. And that’s what it's all about in Philly; a Super Bowl trip.

Which bring us to the Eagles’ divisional rival, the Washington Redskins. They haven’t been floated lately as somebody chasing after his services, but with the Giants (who really need him), the Eagles and the regional rival Ravens pursuing him, you can be sure that they will get in the mix quickly.

They could use him much in the way the Ravens would utilize him, sending their smallish receivers for short catch-big gain routes, while Boldin draws attention down field.

Point is, the Ravens are best suited for his services. They have an established running game, an offensive philosophy that plays to strengths rather than hoping for fitting pieces, and a defense that gives the best kind of support any team could ask for.

And when you consider that the Cardinals would love to get him out of the NFC then hand him over to an AFC opponent, to their delight, the question becomes if the Ravens are willing to give up the picks for the prize?
