Boldin traded to Ravens

[Divide Et Impera]

Boldin in all black is a scary proposition. Q is a mean dude and you give him a black helmet, a black jersey, black pants, black knee-highs and black cleats and the guy is gonna look like a Terminator....

Gotta cheer for BAL in the AFC this year....

ugh. blowhard is back?

Seriously man, grow up. I've always talked football here but you guys always resorted to personal attacks.

The Baltimore Ravens badly wanted a No. 1 receiver. Trading for Anquan Boldin might seem like the answer, but I beg to differ.
Boldin is not a No. 1 receiver. He doesn't run well enough. The Ravens, desperate to get a threat for young quarterback Joe Flacco, traded a third-round pick and a fourth-round pick to the Arizona Cardinals for Boldin and a fifth-round pick.
The Cardinals were willing to part with Boldin in part because they tired of his ways, and the team personnel department thinks Early Doucet is ready to take over as the third receiver behind Larry Fitzgerald and Steve Breaston. They also didn't think Boldin ran by anybody.
Boldin is a tough-guy receiver. He will break tackles after the catch, but if a team plays up on him in press coverage he has trouble getting past them.
The Ravens also gave Boldin a three-year contract extension, which should finally appease Boldin, who has constantly griped about his contract in Arizona the past couple of years.
Trading and paying is always risky. It's even more so with a receiver I don't think is a true No. 1.

Say hello to Tim Tebow in the 3rd and Dorin Dickerson in the 4th.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

It isn't THAT bad. That are alot of sleeper WRs nowadays that you guys could draft plus Breaston has a chance to step up. I am glad Q is out of the NFC West though so now I can start cheering for him.

Saying Breaston has a chance to step up is like saying Obama has a chance at being successful as a black politician.

No kidding. Breaston has already stepped up. It's Doucet that will have to make up for the loss of Boldin by replacing Breaston's production at #3.

funny... I actually think we completely fleeced Baltimore, got rid of a potential head-ache and have multiple picks to do whatever want in the first four rounds to set up the future.

Good job Graves and Co.

Q has the heart of a lion, and is a true gridiron warrior!

He'll be missed!

You are talking to a Niner fan who has higher standards with the WR's they have had the past few years.

You agree with the FO. That's all you have to do to get 4o to agree with you. If the Cards released every player on the roster on Sept. 1st and took the field with a team of replacement players against the 49ers regulars he'd think it was the right move for the Cardinals.

 

[thirty-two]

Wow, end of an era. Thanks for the memories, Q.

 

[seesred]

I will miss the excitment he brought on the field. He is special and we will never replace him. Just like Larry Centers in 98 we are losing a Cardinal great!

Oh come on K9 you know that McCoy is the closest thing to Kurt Warner to come out of college in the last 5 years.

Plays almost exclusively out of the shotgun.
Throws high % short passes to receivers who get lots of yac but can still make the deep throw on the rare occasion one of his Wrs actually gets open downfield.
Took his team to the Championship game with no running game and the most inconsistent defense in college football.

What could be more Warner than that?

I'm on the bandwagon

Very strange indeed. Shane, do I need to send you some hankies via the mail to dry your tears? Very sad day in Cardinal land for all fans

Doesn't look to happy Screw him he could have stayed but he wanted to get paid! Never thought he would be one of the whiny WR's but he proved me wrong!

Im not crying. Just hope we make good use of those picks!

you know I'm kidding cause I know he's your boy. It could be a major coup though if we somehow come up with players that can eventually contribute like a AW, Breaston or THT. Wasn't Montana a 3rd rounder? Cross your fingers...and toes.

I'm with you Bucky got 'em all crossed. The last time the Cards did something similar they replaced Thomas Jones with Emmit Smith. Replaced David Boston and Frank Sanders with Kevin Kasper and Bryan Gilmore. Jake Plummer with Josh McCown. None of the guys replaced were fantastic but the new guys were even worse.

Hopefully the guys we have running the show will do a much better job in finding replacements.

In Whiz we trust.

Frankly, we don't need a good WR to beat your team. 40 year old Bruce was all we needed.

Frankly, we don't need a good WR to beat your team. 40 year old Bruce was all we needed.

And you beat us to win the NFC West Crown! Oh wait....nvm you guys still had a non-winning season, par the course for the 49ers.

 

[Duckjake]

Frankly, we don't need a good WR to beat your team. 40 year old Bruce was all we needed.

Is he the guy that the 49ers hired to keep track of how much time is left in the game?

 

[PJ1]

Frankly, we don't need a good WR to beat your team. 40 year old Bruce was all we needed.

And beating us twice got you to 8-8. No playoffs once again. Talk to us when you win the division. Right now you are spewing your crap on the NFC West Champions board.
