Who cares if it is chronic. It's just developing and all we'd need him for is 2-3 years anyway. By which time we'd surely know if he was worth investing more in.
His style at the WR position as a primary target, combined with Barber in the backfield, is the type of bruising style we could use to take it to the next level on offense. So what if it's only going to be short-lived, news call, so are Barber's services.
Combined with Witten and Williams as our possession guys, we'd have a formable, mauling attack.
This is the type of offense that could literally take over ball games. Much like the ones of the 90's we used to have. 3 guys who will catch everything and a running back that will run you over. Time consuming, power offense.
I've actually thought this was the "key" ever since we chose on keeping Glenn over Keyshawn right when we first acquired TO. We had a chance to bruise suddenly, but instead we chose flash. I'm not a fan of that. The speed guys have to get the ball to hurt a defense- whereas the power guys it just has to be given to them, no 'having to get' involved. Romo would finally have the complete pick n' chose offense he needs with no more need to rely on the big play. The big play being the thing I think is Romo's biggest fault- he's always trying to go for it too much.
At the end of a half, long drives marching down the field one first down after another with time running out and needing a score, those are thing of beauty. No fancy crap involved, just straight up confident, smart, power football. If we want "Romo-Friendly", that's it. The place and time he shines brightest.
Either way though, Boldin or no Boldin, this is the type of player I do believe we should go after rather than a speed guy.
