Saints are making a push that's super strong to sign Boldin

Big men allow you to compete.  Their biggest man at WR is Brandon Cook, so if they want to compete with KB13, Julio, and Mike Evans, they need some height.  At least it'll be easier for Boldin to see how bad the Saints are losing on the scoreboard than Brees and Cooks.

Actually, they expect for Michael Thomas and Brandon Coleman to make  marked contributions this season as well. They are pretty big.

"he loves ex-#49ers, now NO's, WR coach John Morton"

Does his wife know this?

Willie Snead, who had almost 1000 yds. last season, is also a little bigger. And it's Brandin Cooks.

They have 2 other receivers 6'5 + and 3 others at 6'3. Boldin would be one of their shorter receivers.

I am a little surprised that he would sign there though, because I thought that he would want another look at a ring. He's got to be thinking that he'd have to deal with us at least a couple of times this year, which would lower his chances. 

Of course he might be licking his chops at the thought of going against such noobs in the secondary. Already having a ring, he can afford to roll the dice.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
