We are a running team, which uses short to intermediate routes, and stretch the field horizontally. Yeah we take shots occasionally downfield, but we seemed to change things the week before our regular season Pats game. Getting Boldin at his age doesn't make sense.
Now if Edwards wants out of Cleveland, I'd rather trade for him instead. I believe he is 26. That's a big IF, if we were to trade for someone. But I'd rather use our 9 picks so far, and additional comp picks later on to re-tool via the draft.
I think we lack creativity on offense. Also, we have to see what the coaches think on Moss and Manningham, especially Manningham. He is the wildcard in all this.

I think boldin would be the best fit for us since he isn't a deep threat he's just strong and tough WR who fights for the ball and fights for yards after the catch. I really think he's a great fit for Kildrive's scheme and still has 4-5 elite years left. Plus he's a guy like BJ who will wear teams down and energize our offense.
Braylon is really intriguing but he's much more of a deep threat and much less consistent which worries me more than the 3 year age difference Because he'll end up like Shockey, misused and drops galore because he's too busy thinking about making a big play.
I think Mario is a number 4 at best next season unlessthey move smith out of the slot.

If Arizona trades Boldin they will want to ship him to the AFC. It looks like they will win the West for years to come and compete for the SuperBowl. They won't want to greatly improve the Giants or Ealges's passing offense and face him in the playoffs.

This isn't a big deal. People are too oversensitive and hold athletes to unrealistic standards these days.

Exactly, this isn't new, Haley is a Parcell's guy and doesn't take **** from his players, and of course players don't want to take **** from thiere coach so they argue a lot. As I said earlier the only thing concerning is that he walked out on the celebration

Funny, problem is Fitz is Mozart and Boldin is Salieri.
You don't think Boldin is burning up seeing Fitz becoming an immortal and he is rolling around on bad wheels.

THE GAME WAS OVER! THERE IS NOTHING CONCERNING ABOUT IT! HE DIDN'T WANT TO DEAL WITH THE MEDIA, BECAUSE HE KNEW THEY WOULD BLOW IT OUT OF PROPORTION.

Ya, I completely understand his reasoning and all, the media is blowing it out of proportion any way, and this kind of stuff has helped us through the playoffs, Q is going to show up on the biggest stage, you can guarantee that.

Anyone who thinks the NFCCG isn't worth celebrating is just wrong. (They goin' to the ship/state, dad!) This doesn't really have anything to do with Boldin, but to say, "Its only the NFCCG" is just stupid. Its the second biggest game of the year for the league along with the AFCCG and is certainly worth celebrating. I don't fault Boldin for not celebrating at all, but its certainly something worth celebrating and getting emotional over, Boldin's emotional response was different than most of the players on the team because of a combination of things during the game. Its definitely a big game though and to say, "Its not like its the Super Bowl" you might as well say nothing in football is worth celebrating other than the Super Bowl. Thats ******* depressing if you are the 1500 other players in the league who don't get that opportunity. Every victory in life is worth celebrating and if you don't get stoked over winning anything other than the championship, you are one flat lined ************ or you haven't won anything in your life.

but thanks for the personal attack and the ludicrous assumption about my personal life. i'm sure they're really well founded and you have a lot of supporting evidence for such a moronic claim.

Thats pretty obvious dude... I was just watching that NFL Films episode of that Bengals player who broke his leg and how he'd give 6 years and breaking his leg just to play in the super bowl. I'm not arguing that, but you can't even get that far without winning the NFCCG. I think winning the NFCCG to put you in a position to play in the Super Bowl is worth celebrating. I'm not saying they will look back on their career and say, "**** YEAH I PLAYED IN AN NFCCG," but right after you win it, you are going to be emotional just thinking that you have the opportunity to play for the Super Bowl.
Thanks for assuming my goal through all of this is to personally attack a poster on this forum. I clearly directed that entire post at you
You're not the only person who think that way you know...

A buddy of mine has digital cable, and I discovered the ESPNews channel. I highly recommend it, it's what ESPN should be. Looks more like a stock show with tickers going in every direction, but it's all information. Chris Mortenson is nowhere to be seen. T.O. is nowhere to be seen. It's beautiful.

Kind of OT but I think we've beaten this horse to death already anyway...
Thinking about potential destinations for Boldin today...
Of teams needing a WR, Miami seems perfect.
-Accurate QB- Boldin's not a deep threat so Pennington's pop-gun arm wouldn't hurt him much.
-Perfect compliment to Ginn.
-He's from Florida.
-Miami has two second rounders which means they might not be that reluctant to deal one of their top three picks.

I agree with this line of thought.

character problems? Anquan is the exact opposite. He works his hardest and has incredible work ethic and is a good locker room presence. He's a hard nose guy and I'll take him on my team any day.

I wonder how hard his nose is lately. Ziiiiing.
Seriously though give the guy a break, his face got destroyed and he was back in 2 weeks, and now he's in the Super Bowl.
