Why Boldin didn't make sense and Greg Olsen might

I knew they werent doing Boldin for a 3rd....this FO covets draft picks, and as this could be labeled a missed opportunity, I didnt want them to trade away that draft pick...it is a early 3rd round pick, it is not out the realm to find a starter with that pick....had we had the end of the 3rd I would have said do it...
I like Quan, he is tough, but I agree I'm not sure he is the number one type...wrong side of 30, with injuries, injuries compound after 30....just do this position right please and go get Marshall...I just don't get why they don't?? the attitude?? if you are afraid that a 26 year old is going to run or ruin your team, then that doesn't say much for you as a coach, or a front office... -
I stopped reading after it said Boldin is not a #1, that's ridiculous

Boldin sure as heck would have been OUR #1 if we had gotten him, but all this is water under the bridge.
There have been several threads about Olsen, seems to me if he's lasted this long in FA either we're waiting for his price to drop, or we're (the triumvirate) not interested in him. Presumably because of his poor blocking from what I've read in here. -
He was the head honcho in AZ before Fitzgerald got there and he had over 100 catches that year -
he gets exposed in Baltimore -
Lmao, OK...

Heres where I think some of the confusion lies with Boldin...
If you are of the opinion that a #1 receiver has to be a vertical speed threat that breaks a game open...Larry Fitzgerald was much more that type of a receiver then Boldin. But, heres where some of the stats that KC uses, that doesn't quite capture the whole picture...
Why would Arizona use Fitzgerald and Boldin in the same way, running the same type of routes? Larry Fitzgerald is the best receiver in football...it makes sense that Boldins numbers would be more reflective of a possesion reciever....but...go back and look at his numbers BEFORE Fitzgerald.... -
As for Marshall? He would cost us at least our second and fourth rounders, and has already been in enough legal trouble to send up a lot of red flags. His attitude sucks and once he gets his money I worry it will get worse. At least Boldin kept playing hard even while wanting a new contract.
Not that this debate means much, as I can't see our FO showing any interest in Marshall unless he could be had for a third rounder. Yeah. :lol:
BTW, I don't see the need to get Olsen unless the Bears only want a third rounder. Might as well stick with Fasano and draft Graham though. -

I love how as soon as a guy sniffs 30, they got from #1s, to out of the league basically in some peoples heads
-
I think thats why Miami didnt go after him too, in the end it was worth it, a high 3rd rounder, plus 7+ a year for 4 more years.....listen dont s**t yourself Miami could have had the guy, they didnt want him for that price... -
You already made Dansby the highest paid LB in the NFL. Whereever Marshall goes, he'll become the highest paid WR in the NFL.
Clark is bound to sign for amongst the top 5 paid safeties in the NFL. And then you wanna sign a NT too.
I understand the no cap thing, but the day that the cap gets installed again (possibly being before the 2011 season), we'd be screwed. You're dream scenario is just that, a dream. It's unrealistic. -
I would absolutely love to see Greg Olsen in aqua and orange. Not sure what Chicago is asking for though for the former first round pick. Speculation is NE might be a front runner given they have three second round picks to play with. So, maybe a second rounder? Hope the FO is mulling this one over.
