Did anyone else see the argument between Anquan Boldin and the Cardinals offensive coordinator on Arizona's final drive? What was that all about? I think it was Boldin complaining about being used as a decoy, while Fitz steals the show.
Anyone else have info on this?

I don't think Boldin is full of himself to the extent that he tried to pull a T.O. By the way, the Cards' OC is former Cowboys WR coach Todd Haley, who famously yelled at T.O. for being late to the field after he stopped for a #2. T.O. whined about it to the media, naturally.
Boldin is not T.O.azfinfanmang likes this. -
lol boldin gets a pass for asking to be traded and now this too?
-
Ok I have to say it was unprofessional for Boldin to be arguing with any coach on the sidelines, but I think its a huge stretch for anyone to compare him to TO.
Boldin does not have a history of doing this nor is he a huge distraction in the locker room or throwing his own team mates under the bus in the media. If Boldin still wants to be traded and prefers Miami I would welcome with wide open arms. -
Well a player should never yell at a coach but in the heat of the moment its understandable. Boldin isn't a TO or Chad Johnson type player so I just say its a heat of the moment thing.

Seems to have gone from competitive fire and arguing over strategy to the personal side. NOT a good sign IMO.
Good thing is that they have plenty of time to work whatever the issue was leading up to the Super Bowl.Brown42000, Clark Kent and SICK like this. -

As long as he's not doing pushups for the media in his driveway, getting 15 yard flags, and gathering a mob to go against the OC, I'm ok with Boldin.
-
Competitive fire or not, your about to go to the super bowl and your yelling at your OC? What? Something about it just doesnt sit right. That said, if he can be picked up via a decent trade Id bite.

I saw it too but have no idea what it was about. Boldin is such a team guy, during the season, its hard to believe it wasn't warranted in some way by him.:shifty:

First and foremost, Boldin has been nothing but absolutely Team-oriented and a real Profesional since he signed his contract with the Cards.
He spoke up about watching Fitz get paid so much, then let it go away, as he should. That is nothing more than posturing for this next years contract extionsion if he should get one (The Cards are absolutely MAXXED at the Cap).
Not sure I would trade away our First or the Second we got from Washington as he has endured many injuries this season, and a bad hammie always seems to go on and on and on, but he is a great "Team guy" and still a very very good WR.
Whatever was said with his OC will be long-forgotten by both guys before Practice resumes Tuesday :up:gafinfan likes this. -
Boldin prolly called him a *****.

I'll be fair and give Boldin a chance to defend himself, but it's not looking good right now. There is nothing I hate more than players who make it about themselves and not the team.RGF likes this. -
Snifffffff.....ahhhh, the off-season, you can smell it in so many threads!!!
LOL, lets wait and see what takes place with the team and worry about who we sign when we sign them.anlgp likes this. -
on a side note, has there been any other QB who has had better weapons to throw to for his entire career like Kurt Warner has had? First he starts out with the Rams and the greatest show on turf. Torry Holt, Isaac Bruce, Marshall Faulk. Then he lands on a team with Larty Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin, Edgerrin James. This guy has played on some stacked offensive teams!

Peyton didn't have great teams when he came into the league. Other than Harrison he didn't have the other 2 weapons until a few years later.
Rivers has only like 4 years in the league. Besides other than Gates and LT, I'd hardly call his offense stacked. They haven't had a star WR in ages( including Chambers).
Warner has had studs on his offensive teams every season he has played, with maybe the one exeption being that Giants team he played with. But he still had Shockey and Plaxico then I believe.

Jim Kelly had some stacked offenses, Brett Favre for most of his career had a bunch of talent, Peyton Manning (How can you argue against that... Edge, Wayne, Harrison in the past and now Wayne, Clark, Harrison, Gonzalez is getting really good too).
Those guys had talent, but not moreso then KW. However there is one guy who had better, and that is Troy Aikman. Tripplets, great FB and TE, and lastly, greatest O-line EVER. -

ahhhh Romo i love watching him play but i won't even try to defend the guy lol -

He started crying about a new deal last summer and his agent has been on the radio saying he's going to be playing for a new team next year when he is not a FA tell 2010....................he got his panties in a wad over his friend getting a new deal.
He is a cry baby lil diva, sorry you don't like that but it's true. -
As for Boldin, mr. injury man and you want to give up our first for a luxury pick. No thanks.
I love WRs, my favorite position. But I know their position is overrated. Knock the QB over and three all-time WRs won't do anything to save you. The team is playing hot right now, Fitzy is having a huge post-season, but overpaying for WR's gets you burnt. -

any person that does anything remotely cancerous in private or public to degrade the team concept would have no place on mine.
IMO the bit about a contract and a trade is part of the business. But it should be handled behind closed doors and not spread out in public. The coaches can decline to comment on it so can players.
The OC thing? Heat of the moment.
The not celebrating with teammates thing? That's kinda what's got me at the moment.Rocky Raccoon likes this.
