    Trying to force a trade is not "without complaint" he threatened to not show up for training camp last year.
    You sign a bad deal,thats your own hindquarters,whining about it 2 out of the last 3 seasons shows your a malcontent.
    An aging malcontent at that,with a history of injuries.
    Worked out great for the Eagles with TO didnt it?Marvin Harriwho?Cris Carter,great pickup for us.Tim Brown really put the Bucaneers over the top.

    I don't know about you but, if I signed a contract, and out preformed it by leaps and bounds, I would be looking for a raise.

    Been there, done that, got the raise. I also had a contract where I reduced my fee because it was fair, and the right thing to do. Just business.

    yeah and he is avg. 4 milly a year, that isn't chopped liver, although I agree bro, he is worth more....that's the thing too, okay we trade for him right, then what does he do when Ireland doesn't extend him out right away before training camp?? I would think if they get this guy, they extend him out no??

    Not to mention
    Laverneus Coles-4th round
    Marty Booker-3rd round
    Steve Smith-3rd round
    Hines Ward-3rd round
    Terrell Owens-3rd round
    Before blowing a 3rd rounder on a noted pain in the hindquarters,who gets hurt alot,draft better.

    brother man there is nothing more I want for this team to have a legit number one receiver...my point is if your going to do it, get a legit number one....Boldin is nice, but he scares me with the age, and injuries....if he was uninjured I would even say do it, but its both, once u have injuries, age makes them never go away...dude we need to have beer come down to RI, take the sled!![/QUOTE]

    Yeah, we should get rid of Ronnie, Grove, Smiley, Crowder, and W allen for the same reason.

    DAMN, can we draft twice, in each round, because of player's like this?

    You can't have it both ways FY, those "#1 Wr's" did not all show up in one draft, TO was drafted back in 1997, there were what 13x32 picks in the third round since then, care to guess how many "#1 Wr's" came out of that round over 13 yrs?

    Fair to say a small handful?

    3 maybe? 4?

    13 yrs is a heck of broad brush, 384 players taken in the 3rd round since TO was drafted, and what..5 became ersatz "#1 Wr's"?

    In his one season W/O Fitz, his rookie season mind you this is how he did.

    2003: Rookie Season
    Rec: 101
    Yrds: 1,377
    Avg: 13.6
    Lng: 71 Yard TD
    TDs: 8

    He was the Cards #1 receiver and looking at those numbers I would assume he faced every kind of coverage even double teams. The man is a beast. You plug him in and he's ready to go from day one.

    If we can get him for a 3rd and a new contract you have to consider it.

    for every successful wr taken in the 3rd round, i could name about 50 failures.

    The draft isn't a total crapshoot, but it's no where near exact science either. Case in point: Patrick Turner (so far anyway.) We believe Parcells and Co. are fantastic talent evaluators right? Well this guy didn't even get on the field this year. Does that mean Parcells has no idea what he's doing? No. It just means the draft is more about luck than some think.

    I'd offer a third round pick in a heartbeat. Want a third and fifth? Fine. Want a third and Joey Porter? Also fine. Bottom line: Acquiring Anquan Boldin for anything less than a first or second round pick (or equal value to that, i.e. say Chad Henne or Vonte Davis - JUST AN EXAMPLE) is a win. What's at risk? OK, he gets injured and misses a game or two or three or four... maybe he helps take you to the playoffs and is unable to help there after because of another injury. Well, you're giving up a third round pick. It's well worth the risk for a Pro Bowl caliber receiver when healthy.

    Anquan Boldin is a legit #1 WR in this league and there is no questioning that.

    Yep. And this isn't a one or two dimensional guy. There is nothing he can't do. Perhaps he's injury prone because of how he throws his body out there... this guy is a monster. He'll line up in the slot, beat a line backer to the first down marker, and take an absolute beating from a hard hitting safety... and still keep his feet moving. He's not injury prone because he's fragile; he's injury prone because he fights for extra yardage like a 250 pound running back.

    And of course he can do damage on the outsides as well. Boldin is a beast.

    It is being screwed relative to what similarly productive WRs get paid. And he didn't *****. He said I'm under paid and everybody agreed. He basically did the same thing Fitzgerald did and nobody considers him a diva.

    And the "he signed a contract" argument is ridiculous. The system is set up where player's contracts are renegotiated when the player outperforms it and they're cut when they under perform it. He didn't get that renegotiation b/c he had the bad fortune to be drafted by a team that had a surplus at the position.

    What the hell does history matter in the draft? Each year is entirely different with the quality and quantity available.

    You can spin the draft's to say whatever you like. The bottom line is that it is a crap shoot, some expertise, and a lot of luck.

    then he hits free agency and you lose him though?? 1 year and out, if thats the case, much rather have the 3rd rounder.....I think if they do a deal with Boldin, they got have the extension ready...Parcells wont give up a draft pick for a guy to be there one year, and then leave, knowing full well they arent in a position to make a serious SB run next year..

    the team has all the control, that why nobody holds out...there is no place in any NFL contract, that states "If so and so outperforms the money in this contract, he can renegotiate it" never happens......the players themselves *****, but remember Boldin extended out in 05 I believ, it isnt even his rookie contract so, guess what...he did sign that contract, he has gotta live with it...rookie contract are one thing, but if you extend it and dont get paid what you want and then ***** about the extension you signed, I'm sorry it says alot about the guy...

    You don't trade for him without having a contract agreement in place. That's the standard for 99.9% of trades.

    The holdouts or the guys who are disruptive are the malcontents. Just asking to be paid commensurate with similar players and not holding out or being negative in any way is not being a malcontent.

    13 yrs and 365 picks and 4 "#1 wr" has everything to do with trading a #3 for Boldin, basically there is no shot at landing a #1 in that draft position.



    amazing, a 13 yr history is "spin" that same stretch saw less than 4 #1 Wr come out of the round, that makes Boldin a good value for the pick

    agreed and again not sure how many times I have to say this but if you are going to do it, do it right.....it is clear there are people on here and elsewhere, that say "yes I do want Q" and "no I dont" for whatever reasons....it is safe to say there are questions associated with the guy...I would rather (even though it pains me) give up a first rounder if I knew it would permanetly solve the problem over an extended period of time.....by that I mean several as in 5+....

    Realistically, the most you can hope for from any player is 3-4 years. That's your typical contract length. The advantage from draft picks is that other than the top 5 or so picks you get them cheap. The disadvantage is that you don't know what you're getting and you have to wait for them to develop.

    cuz they know the team has all the control and dont want to catch a 20,000 dollar a day fine....i.e. Richard Seymour, Ocho, Boldin, Marshall......they talk real tough but when that deadline drops and they get wacked 10-30K a day...they tend to soften their stance a little and play nice...

    Also one man (his own) opinion isn't the end all be all of what reality is...the market dictates the worth when the time comes...and for Q it is coming pretty soon...

    "Injury Prone", I get it he's missed 17 games in 7 seasons due to injury's. That part I fully understand. This is a tough guy though. When you get your face fractured and have to have surgery to repair it and still come back a couple weeks later w/o fear like he did that's a tough SOB. He does the things we wish Ginn would do. He's physical, doesn't run out of bounds. Looks for contact and runs over CB's and safeties. If he ran out of bounds like Ginn he probably would never get injured. When you have a player like that you take the good with the bad.

    Not only would he help our passing game tremendously he's also the type of receiver that's going to make a large impact on our running game.

    I'm all for building through the draft. When done properly the result is amazing as it allows you to contend now and for years to come, but when given the opportunity to bring in proven commodity and to do it for a 3rd round pick it is something you need to look at.

    Not this year, the #12 is too valuable to surrender even for your Boy Brandon Marshal (saw you query Caplann about it..:lol:) because if Marshal flames out in Miami we are set back 2 years unless Ireland pulls a late round rabbit out of the hat.

    Q just makes soo much sense, especially if we can bundle Porter up to get him.

    Thnk of it this way, we add a #1 Wr, subtract a headache, and keep Porter away from the AFCE and in fact move him out of the AFC altogether.

    I'd pay a #1 pick for a #1 Wr, but only if I had to..

    u scared of JP Pads?? I'm not, would love to dole him out to NE, he will drop and drop off...if McClain in gone I'd do 12 for Marshall....the kid is 25!! can u imagine him and Henne around for 7 years at least?? thats worth the number 12 to me..the only thing I would worry about Marshall is the day after he comes to Miami getting arrested..lol..

    Fantastic. So now the likelyhood of finding a #1 WR in the later rounds of the draft moves up by less than 1%.

    As I said before, you get what you pay for. You can continue to invest those late rounders in hopes of uncovering a gem, but the chances of acquiring that gem are remote, at best.

    Just don't complain when in 2 years, we still don't have a legitimate weapon on the outside to complement our young QB.

    Cap is snowed in up in the NE, he is on everyday, check out the cat from MovetheSticks, Daniel Jeremiah an ex Scout, he is good as well.


    JP isn't done FY, he would be the best passrusher on every other team in the AFCE instantly, Schoebel would be #2, as fans we can boo and hiss at him, even in a down year he still produced well.

    He would have led every AFCE team in sacks in 09, I'm opposed to putting him on the Street to wind up with the Jest or the Patsies if sending him out west removes him as a problem for us, and adds AB in return, I'm all for it.

    *edit to add Aaron Schoebel had 10 sacks, but is a DE and talked retirement, C Pace is #3 with 8 sacks.

    I'm all for finding a WR through FA or a trade, I hate the thought drafting yet another complimentary WR through the draft then waiting for said WR to develop...I'm with ya on that...I've always thought of the draft as finding those core defensive players...

    Finyank,

    IF these players play uninjured, we will have a top 5, or better OL, and possibly the best "overall" RB in the league. JMO

    Adding Boldin, uninjured, to the mix would make our O special.

    Think about the risk, and potential reward.

    Thanks for your concern of my fingers. :) Next year, maybe we can afford a Marshall, or someone better. This year, we need that #1 for D.
