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!

    • Perfect example why Zod said they are getting rid of the Tinderbox. 😉 Segmenting which swallow has the best airspeed velocity is what divides us! Bravo Zod. 
    • I've been reading around on different websites about our team and OTAs and minicamps.  There are several members of this team that need to step up.  These are a few of mine.  Please feel free to add to the iist. 1. Bryce Young, Obviously the No. 1 person who needs to step up.  Bryce has been given everything a QB could ask for.  We have a top tier offensive line. Big WRs that can get open and make plays.  A decent running game.   Over tha past couple of years we have really put enough players in position to help him.  He has to be the guy to step up and utitlize his players. 2. Jaelan Phillips, Just because of the massive contract we gave him.  He has to be the leader of the pass rush.  He has to be in double digit sacks or the money isn't worth it.  He has to bring Scourton and the rest of the group to the top. 3. Ejiro Evero, Two years ago he had the statically worst defense in NFL history but was given a reprieve because we focused primarily on the offensive side of the ball for Young.  Last year we improved and we just didn't have enough to stop elite QBs.  This year he has been given just about everything a defensive coordinator could ask for.  IMO he has 4 cornerbacks that have impressed this offseason.  He received solid help for Brown with Hunter and Phillips. Our weakest area, LB Corp, we signed Lloyd to solidify that group.  With all the tools he has this season he needs to show why we kept him after 2024.  IMO he has no excuses this season.   Lastly, IMO is X. Legette. He has shown sporadic flashes but nothing to justify being a first round pick.  The WR room is stacked this season and any number of players from that group could make the 53 man roster. XL is going to have to show out this preseason.  At minimum, he performs well enough to possibly get a trade to a team needing a WR.  I think with T-Mac, Coker and Brazzell in the mix for the top three position we would be wise to utilize the remaining WR spots for players with a larger ceiling than XL.  Training Camp and Preseason will sort them out and IMO if XL doesn't flat out show out he's done in Carolina.  Feel free to add to this list.  And of course, your opinion. 
    • I'm all for it. Improved moderation sounds great. A number of thoughtful dudes and I believe 100% of the thoughtful women that used to post here have been gone for years.
