Both probowlers - the backfield is crowded now with 3 backs - just throwing it out there to get some opinions.

No.

We need to focus on the run game. Passing is fine and dandy in September and October, but once it gets colder the elements play a factor the run game becomes more vital to winning. Especially in our division.

If we want to put on a regular season show with fireworks and scoring early in the year we go with Boldin. If we want to win late in the year we need run the ball. And right now we have a nice balance to afford us the flexibility to do both.

i think people need to quit trying to trade talent it took so long to find and put the crack-trade-pipe away and let it alone.

Yea... we finished the year with one healthy back.... lets trade away one now before the season starts.

Crowded backfield is a problem I don't mind having!

MB3 scores to many points for us and is key in the redzone.

I don't have enough confidence in our two young RB's to get the tough touchdowns when you get in the redzone.

I'd hate to trade him knowing I lost my easy touchdown machine.

I would rather trade up in the Draft for Hakeem Nicks and keep Barber.

Barber would be the back to trade, but he's too expensive for most other teams, I'd imagine. BTW, he is still my favorite player.

I think that is an intriguing idea.

What some on this board believe is that
1. Your proposed trade implies that Barber is not a good player.
Wrong.
2. Some henny pennies on this thread flat out say it's not gonna happen.
And we all know that T.O. and PacMan and Deion never happened, either.
3. Some think we need to keep these sterling RBs intact.
And nobody disagrees with that. It's just that giving up something valuable in return is the cost of doing business. And getting something valuable in return.
Boldin, temperment aside, is a perfect fit across from Williams. Now teams would respect us with this alignment. The defensive line suddenly becomes of secondary import and -- BOOM Felix and Tashard strike.

Naw, don't never say never, nervous nellies.

Don't dare to dream.
You naysayers take the pessimistic approach. Be static. Think the status quo. That, and the weak and passionless Clown Wade Phillips, will get you 9-7 seasons and maybe not getting into the playoffs.

Simple peeps, fer godsakes, think outiside the donut box and see this proposal for what it is. An intriguing idea that would give us a blue chip WR while we STILL retain two sterling RBs. What, you think we could get a Boldin with a Corey Proctor or Greg Ellis?

Don't hate to imagine or wonder about possible trades.
That is one of the great things about my hera Jerra. He is a visionary and puts his money where his mouth is, unlines us.

Despite what the book burners might say, it's always fun to discuss dees things with friends and fellow fighting idiots. Amen.
I must go now because I am too choked up with righteous indignations and the steroids.

I would think since we just signed Barber to a long-term deal that it would be cost prohibitive. Then we would also have to fork out a bunch of money to Boldin.

I'd do it.

Love me some Barber but his game is not conducive to longevity, IMO.

Plus, Boldin is probably my favorite WR in the NFL.

But it's not gonna happen.

Hell no!

Barber is the heart 'n soul of our offense. Above and even beyond Romo, we need him to stay! He is our "heartbeat".
