Anquan Boldin

Recommended Posts

Im not one to make a page about any free agent, but it seems more likely than ever that Anquan Boldin could be an option. He is tough, reliable, and productive. And we have made no secret about looking for a slot receiver. He has recently stated that he wants to play another year. Do you think Getts will/should go after him?

We love to have Walter Payton Men of the Year on our roster....  Peanut Tillman was such an amazing fit with our team and such a HUGE ASSET even for only 1 season.

So, I could possibly see it.  Dave seems to be in the mood to acquire proven vets this season.  Who knows!

And now for your annual Anquan Boldin free agency thread 

The difference being that in past seasons we wanted "to give the young guys a shot," and this year we are shamelessly putting veterans into position to play a ton of snaps ahead of other guys.

Yeah that's happening because of poor drafting.

Can't see it happeneing...

KB/Funch/Johnson/Shepard/Byrd/Bersin 

Are essentially the top 6, and I'm not saying 2 of the bottom three couldn't be cut, but when you rationalize we're drafting at least one receiver maybe two, I don't think there's room for another slow receiver. 

If anything it's Cruz if we go the veteran receiver route. Byrd at least still has PS eligibility, and Bersin seems to live there. So there's still a lot that could change there...

with all the other veteran signings, it wouldn't be too far fetched. 

also, I think DG realizes the window to win a SB is wide open now, so veterans who can come in and contribute immediately is what he's looking for 

We all know that Dave has said he doesn't believe in Super Bowl windows, and yet he's proving otherwise with his actions in free agency this year.  Kind of like trying to do a Denver part 2.  Lose, restock with great talent and win 2 years later...

I kind of wonder if Dave has suddenly thought of SB windows in a new way.  It might not be about any kind of window in terms of overall team talent and potential, but in terms of JERRY RICHARDSON, and some of our best most amazingly loyal team veterans (TD, CJ, Greg...) the clock IS ticking and the window is closing.  So, maybe he now acknowledges a window in this sense.  

It's exciting to do something different.  Hoping it proves the magic formula for 2017!

    • Got to give some credit to the coaching staff on these. You can grab top talents but without good coaching, they just fizzle out. We've seen that a lot around here.  
    • Oh, no TV for tonight's game unless you have the NHL Network, I believe. I could be wrong, hopefully?
    • Early returns are great and exciting but also worth noting that Gettleman had a few drafts that looked incredible early on and wound up mostly sucking (2014 mainly). Also PFF; grain of salt, etc.    I'm completely sold on Tet being a stud, knocked a high pick out of the park like we needed to and always should. Nearly sold on Scourton. Not sold on Princely but he had flashes. Not sold on Etienne as more than a 3rd stringer and special teamer, but that's not terrible for his draft position. Big fan of Ransom and think he'll be a starter.  Cam Jackson : IDK, I see limited upside but we didn't see much of him Evans was a nice find for draft position and he had a great rookie year for a late round rookie TE with plenty of veteran competition. Not sure about his upside though, seems like best case is a long term #2/3 TE, which isn't bad. Jimmy Horn, personally I didn't see a damn thing from him that impressed me all year. And he got a lot of opportunities. Pulling for the kid, but not convinced he's an NFLer.   UDFA: Fitzgerald was an amazing find
