Cardinals to Listen to offers for Boldin

[dbair1967]

Really not much reason to discuss this, its a major pipe dream.

still rather have Williams. Boldin will be exposed when he is covered by the other teams #1 cb every game.

It doesn't. I sent a trade:Crayton,Ellis and a 3rd for Boldin and it rejected it.

Cowboys won't even be in the hunt for Boldin. He's going to a team that has picks to give. Cowboys don't have the picks or moveable parts to make anything happen with Boldin. I predict he does go to the NFC East though. Of the two most obvious contenders I lean towards the Eagles pulling it off in the end. They have the #21 in the first round (eight higher than the Giants) and the #85 in the third, but the Giants do have 2 third rounders.

I'm just not sure we need to go out and get another prima donna WR. Let's just draft a guy who goes out and does his job or a guy who's happy to be here and busts his butt to stay here. Guys like Brian Robiskie and Mike Thomas come to mind.

There's so many WR's out there..TO, Braylon Edwards, Ocho Cinco, Plaxico, Antonio Bryant, Bolden, Brannon Marshall, Randy Moss, etc...who have a me-first and me-always attitude. Guys like Larry Fitzgerald and Wes Welker prove it doesn't have to be that way.

Dallas doesn't need Bolden.

Can we please let Roy Williams show what he can do healthy and after he has OTA's, mini-camps, training camp, and preseason?

Cowboys' fans are spoiled.

The Titans would love to have Roy Williams.

Some of you guys better be glad that you don't have Justin Gage as your number one WR. Some of you wouldn't know what to do.

I'd give up Williams in a heartbeat. One season wonder with freakishly large injury prone feet for a proven elite deep threat with toughness.

Boldin hasn't finished a season yet, has he?? My money is on Roy Williams putting up a better season than Anquan Boldin, regardless if Fitz is on the other side or not.

Apples and oranges. The Cowboys aren't nearly as well rounded as the Titans. Our defense has yet to show they've capable of carrying this team for an extended amount of time, we can't control games with a sustained running game and we're obviously not as well coached. Until proven otherwise, we need the big time offensive weapons to keep from coming apart at the seams. If RW produces at the level of a Justin Gage this year, the Cowboys won't come close to cracking .500.

Thats reasonable.


Bolden and RW.
Barber and Felix.

Not saying that Anquan Boldin is not a very good WR. But lets not forget that while he does put up big stats, his numbers have come in an offense that throws the ball 600 times a year.

Everyone discredits Roy Williams stats in 2006 because he put them up in Mike Martz's system. Well Arizona thew the ball more times each of the past two years than Mike Martz did in 2006.

All in all, it is six of one, half dozen of the other. With Anquan Boldin, you get a guy who is maximizing his talent level, and is a great possession WR, but you do NOT get much big play ability at all. His career yards per catch is 12.9, with 3 seasons of 12 yards per catch or less. With Roy Williams you get a guy who has yet to play up to his true potential, but even not living up to his true potential is very good. Also with Roy Williams you get a guy who's career yards per catch is 14.5, and has only had one season with a yards per catch under 13. And three seasons with a yards per catch of over 15.

Both are also injury prone, with Roy Williams being just over 1 year younger than Boldin.

Actually there is more and more thought that a 2010 first rd pick is going to be pretty valuable since already there is a lot of speculation that that draft is going to be stronger in the first rd.

Sure he has - not a lot though. He still manages to average 250 yards more a season than Roy. Boldin's return from a devastating hit in the Jets game impressed me, it wasn't even a contract year.

Roy was making excuses for needing a season under his belt before he could feel comfortable with the QB and ran lazy routes. I suppose that sort of thing could be fixed (which is obviously why they've been trying to make such a big deal about the non-cutting game of catch that he's having wtih Romo) but for some reason, I'm not sold on his toughness/drive to be an elite #1.

Hopefully they will pull a Denver + not send him to a rival like Philly.

Except for the one season where Roy played in an offense that threw the ball even CLOSE to an many times as the Cardinals do....

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I believe in Roy so I'm not already jumping, as quick as possible, off the Roy bandwagon.

That said I'm not shocked that they're finally going to listen to offers for Boldin. It had to happen sooner or later.

Thank you. RW will be fine. If Romo, OL, and OC do their job.
