The Cardinals want a fucking third for Boldin

[Matt Foley]

What Delhommey said. In the Fox lexicon, you are what you are. The Panthers are a running team. If you get two WRs who expect 1,000 yards, and you don't have a Kurt Warner to get them there, you're just inviting headaches. Which would you rather have...two RBs who gain a combined 3,000 yards, or two WRs who gain 2,000? The first is obtainable, and would make the Panthers pretty damn hard to beat on most Sundays.

Who else thinks Smitty would move to #2 in if it meant getting Anquan? He publicly said he would like to see him here at one time. So if the sitaution called for it I think he would do it.

Does Boldin have the makeup to be second fiddle?

Is this a Geico commercial?

I think if Smitty is only catching 50-60 balls, we better be winning.

As great as that sounds and everything...a 3rd sounds about right. Boldin is a running back in WR numbers...so he gets hurt a lot.

Look at Arizona when Boldin is hurt...Arizona doesn't miss a beat. Breaston and others kick in.

I love Boldin as a player, but he doesn't really extend the field for us the way Smitty thinks we need.

That's part of what I'm getting at. SS will proly be more demanding than a Boldin for the ball with this team so that means if only 50-60 for SS is Boldin read to only have 40-50? Or could SS be ok with 50-60 while Boldin gets more? hmm

I think both could do great here, I just wonder if Boldin has the humility and win no matter what makeup to make it work.

Does Charlie Daniels play a mean fiddle?

It's not Smitty he should be worrying about sharing with.

His jaw? Maybe Smitty will punch that same jaw Boldin hurt last year.

With our offense it makes no sense to have 2 #1 receivers. We need speed at both the WR and KR positions. Especially the KR position. Boldin is a great reciever but not really a deep threat so to speak. We need someone who will intimidate enough so that the safety won't come down in the box on the other side of SS.

It's make no sense to have 2 #1 receivers?? Tell that to Double Trouble with how they are 2 #1 running backs. :D

I don't want to send a 3rd pick away for Boldin OR spend it on a rookie WR, at least with our current amount of picks. The highest pick I would use on on WR is the 4th rounder,unless we can get another 2nd or 3rd round pick.

I'm very aware that WR is a need, but it falls below DE and DT. You can't even get WR that much time on the field if other team can pound away and control the ball. But, knowing that WR is a need, I would like to sign one in free agency. I'd rather spend money on a guy like Antonio Bryant and NOT give up a draft, than give up a draft pick AND shell out millions upon millions to Boldin while we are staring down the barrel of re-signing Kalil/Johnson/D-Will next year along with some combination of Moore/Williams/Johnson/Leonard/Tyler/Davis/Anderson. And I badly want to see Jarrett with Matt Moore at Quarterback.

We have two massive needs, run defense and another WR. The run defense is more important and it's more likely to be fixable through this years draft because there are alot of big, stout guys at both DE and DT. Therefor, logic dictates that we should sign an Antonio Bryant type so that our top picks can be used on the D-Line. Football is won and lost on the line of scrimmage.

Plus, I think Boldin is Miami bound. And again, I'd rather not be like the Redskins and trade picks away left and right. History shows that the franchises who pull that crap are failures, while teams that build through the draft and make smart free agent signings are WINNERS.

And now that Anquan Boldin has been acquired via trade and signed to a four-year, $28 million deal (the guaranteed money is believed to be in the neighborhood of $10 million, but we're not firm on that), the Ravens are not trying to sign Walter.

Pretty cheap for Boldin.
