Anquan Boldin?

[tarheel32blue]

NFL Live guys talking about how much Carolina would be licking their chops to get a guy like this... why though? Sure he's a great player but do we need him?

Then again, with Jake at QB, we need all the help we can get.

[CharlotteBeer.com]

We don't need him.

If he's pissed about not getting targeted in Arizona, how do you think he'd fit in over here in a run first offense with Steve Smith as our first receiver?

Not to mention we just don't need receiver help right now. He's a tremendous athlete, but I'd be pretty pissed if we paid for Boldin to come in when we have so many other needs on defense right now.

[Montsta]

We could have Fitgerald at #2, Boldin in the slot, and Andre Johnson in there on 4 man shotgun packages, and Jake will STILL only throw to Steve Smith in quadruple coverage. So it doesn't really matter.

[davos]

It would be good no matter what. The question is what we could do with the remaining $$ on defense and for Gross.

The problem is, would Jake even look his way to throw him the ball. He'd rather throw into double or triple coverage if there's a chance Smith can catch the ball. Or hold the ball waiting for Smith to get open. In other words, Boldin would be very unhappy in our current offensive scheme, so we should pass IMO.

Now come on, really do you think Jake wouldnt look his way? I know Jake does not look for more than one receiver per play unless he has plenty of time, but he would get him the ball. I know all you guys think its cute to bash Jake this bad, but it is a lil absurd. Yes that last game made me want him fired too, but Moose did have 68 balls caught this year which isnt bad for a number 2 in a run offense so please stop the same ole same ole talk everyone is spewing. Boldin is not coming here, the Panthers don't make moves like that, unfortunately but I would be for it except our defense needs some help.

[Zaximus]

Would be nice, but I think the money could be spend elsewhere and help us more than him.

[Ranucci's Big Butt BBQ]

If he becomes available I would love to see the Panthers get him. Jake won't be around much longer.

[CRA]

I don't get the media and fan talk in regards to WR at all. We don't need to be worried about that and if you are you didn't pay attention last season. We have Smith and decent options after him considering our offensive style and QB. Considering our QB and his style, we have almost the perfect offense surrounding him. A high level WR brought in is suppose to help us score more than we did the 2nd half of the season when we got rolling? It is suppose to help w/ our lame DL and average secondary (when you combine those two it is a reciepe for disaster)? Is it going to help the most conservative coach in the NFL (per the Zeus computer) not hurt us w/ his lame coaching?

Coaching, defense, and keeping our OL together are our concerns.

[PanthersAlv]

Come on people be realistic. Jake wants to make the big plays, and if Boldin was on this team at #2... Jake wouldn't have to worry who he threw it to then.

He knows Smitty is Pretty damn good at getting the ball even in double coverage.

Jake isn't the best. But, he's definitely not the worst.

If we had Smitty and Boldin on the team, and our run game was getting stuffed... they would open it up... and vise versa.

Now... will we even try to get him? I highly doubt it.

not to mention, people are say'n Boldin was complain'n about not getting the ball enough... that may be part of it... but, then again, in the Probowl, Tiki interviewed him and Boldin said it he loves his teammates, but it was the organization.

I'm sure the organization wasn't throwing him the ball, ot stopping him from getting the ball thrown to him.

Anyway... here's hope'n I guess.

He wasn't pissed about "not getting targeted," whatsoever. The dude got over 1000 yards again this season... he was pissed about the Cardinals apparently not standing by a word-of-mouth agreement to redo his deal prior to last season.

[mantal]

Warner is trying to keep him in Arizona...

C'mon, Dimbee. You know the drill. it was Jake's fault about that too. Everything else is. Stop trying to bring some truth and reality to the discussion!!!

Yea, because those 65 times he dumped it off to Moose for almost 1,000 yards and all...

Yea, Jake NEVER looks elsewhere Give me a break... Do you even watch the games?
