A topic on the Jaguars FanPage: Anquan Boldin for Maurice Jones Drew


Kind of an interesting and intruiguing idea. From the Jaguars perspective, they see Jones-Drew as a great player, but a great player who is entering his 4th year in the league and is probably wanting a new deal. Also, the Jags have always been a good running team and there is thought that the Jaguars can plug in an replacement (Beanie Wells at #8 in 09 draft), get an elite wide reciever that they have needed since the Mark Brunell/Jimmie Smith days, and a guy in Boldin who is from Florida and probably wants to be in Florida.

From the Cards perspective, we would get a big play homerun hitter, complementary runningback who is used to splitting carries, has terrific hands out of the backfield, and along with Tim Hightower is a touchdown machine.

I love Jones-Drew. In alot of ways, he is a runningback version of Anquan Boldin (tough, strong, elusive). He also seems like a Whisenhunt kind of guy.

Not one for one IMO.........they need to offer more......maybe a swap of picks......plus, our O-Line isn't a good run block team.

This would satisfy me. Jones-Drew and Hightower would be a perfect pair IMO. I would prefer a Q to the Panthers for Jonathan Stewart deal though I think.

I am all over that deal...

Good call, I was thinking about that too. How about Boldin and Arrington for MJD and Reggie Nelson? That would give us the centerfielder we really need.

Damn, I was really liking that one. Well, atleast I dont have to watch him anymore. That was one pathetic draft pick that I hated from day one. He may be a good guy and I wish him the best but damn did Graves and Co whiff on that one.

No thanks? Have you checked out Drew's numbers? Try a 4.8 per carry average, 34 touchdowns, and averages 50 catches a year. Plus the guy is 23 years old. There is talk of the Jags taking either Moreno or Wells with their 1st round pick if they make this deal, so they would have their replacement for Drew and a stud wide reciever.

We will not send Boldin to a potential playoff opponent. If we do, it will come back to haunt us big time.

MJD is a stud. I would do that deal in a second. It would be fair for both teams IMO.

Then that kind of limits our options. Almost every team, with the exception of the Lions, Browns, Bengals, Rams and one or two others can make the playoffs. Its best to send him off to the AFC so you only face him once every four years. Most importantly, get the maximum value you can get for him.

I agree it limits the options, but I would rather have them limited. Even then, I would be OK with some trades within the NFC. The 2 biggest no-nos are Philly and Carolina, which are probably 2 of the teams who want him the most.
