Worth It?
 
There are a few receivers out there who are either without a team or disgruntled with their current team.

Pick one, if you think there is one, that is most worth going after...and discuss

Re: Worth It?
 
J. Walker is the only one I'd go after. He has proven himself and to be honest he is getting underpaid. TO is a head case, Boston's career is pretty much done, Mitchell should become a comedian, Boldin was hurt last year.

Re: Worth It?
 
I'd want either a healthy and motivated A. Boldin or D. Boston cuz both r absolute beasts when 100% on their game.

Daseal 05-08-2005 12:40 AM

Re: Worth It?
 
I'm with skinsfan - if you can get Boston off the juice and on his game he could be an elite receiver in this league. I voted Boldin, young and smart. Although he said he's going to be a Cardinal, so we'll see.

Re: Worth It?
 
Boston could be the best; but I just have a feeling he is going to have health/injury problems and will proaboly never be a top dawg again. I would go with Boldin, he is the youngest out of any of them; and I think has the most upside. The rest are either headcases, or head cases and not very good (Mitchell). Walker would be worth a look too; but I would go with Boldin if given the choice.

Boston is old news and is a bigger waste than Gardner at this point

Re: Worth It?
 
What on earth do you like about Boston his busted knee or the fact he is/has been on the juice? The risk is too high for the reward.

jrocx69 05-08-2005 05:03 AM

Re: Worth It?
 
why would we vote on these idiots? boldin/walker holding out, mitchell is a moron, boston is a shitbag, and last but not anywhere near least, TO should never be mentioned on a skins thread again...waste of human life

the real poll should be who is gonna lead our team in receptions? and why?

dieselhog 05-08-2005 05:54 AM

Re: Worth It?
 
Boldin has far exceeded his rookie contract and I can understand his point at wanting a new deal. He has also now reported to work outs which in my mind shows that he does not want to hurt his career too badly. Boldin is young, talented and has a legitimate gripe. Has to be him.

He couldn't wear 81 here though!

:coach:

Re: Worth It?
 
David Boston is the worst idea I've EVER heard. Daseal, did you stop to think that Boston may have had his beastly season with the Cardinals BECAUSE he was on the juice? What makes you think that if he got off the juice, he'd be able to repeat that year's performance?

I'd go for Javon Walker. He'd fit our scheme, a serious deep threat because of pure speed. The Pack would never give him up though.

Re: Worth It?
 
I like Boston for a reason that nobody would ever think of. His dad is a NFL ref. Maybe would could get a call or two to go our way.:headbange

PSUSkinsFan21 05-08-2005 11:50 AM

Re: Worth It?
 
Walker is the only one I don't have a serious problem with on that list. Boldin would be ok if he wasn't injured. Mitchell is a fraud. TO is a punk and a cancer and numerous other things I shouldn't say on this site. And Boston is a total joke.

Daseal 05-08-2005 11:56 AM

Re: Worth It?
 
Boston, when he had his breakout season, wasn't near the size he is now. My guess is he wasn't on the juice. Honestly, I don't care what he does as long as it doesn't get him suspended and he plays football. Let's also remember how much money we may be able to get David Boston for. Can anyone say league min? I voted for Boldin even though I think his rookie season may be a bit misleading, he's still a quality receiver.

Walker would be a good choice too!

mooby 05-08-2005 12:23 PM

Re: Worth It?
 
i like david boston, and i think he still has a couple of years left in the tank, but im going to take none of the above. boston is the only one on there who doesn't have problems with his team (except f. mitchell, he just flat out sucks), and none of them are worth taking risks on.

Daseal 05-08-2005 01:38 PM

Re: Worth It?
 
It should send a message to TO, he is by far the best player there yet no one is willing to deal with his antics. If he was from a non-NFC east team do you think he'd have some votes?

for the money? i'd go with boston. for the ability...i'd go with boldan.

swift0712 05-08-2005 02:31 PM

Re: Worth It?
 
My vote goes to Javon Walker. Has the speed to stretch the field opposite Moss, size to go over the middle, leaping ability and hands to go up and get a ball in the red zone. Boldin would be my 2nd choice....the rest are all looney toons that would never be a Gibbs kind of guy.

SKINSnCANES 05-08-2005 03:10 PM

Re: Worth It?
 
I like our receiving core. I picked none of the above.

MTK 05-08-2005 07:51 PM

Re: Worth It?
 
Boston has been on the juice for a while now I'd guess, his 2nd year in the NFL was when he really balloned up and had those huge guns for arms.

monk81 05-08-2005 07:55 PM

Re: Worth It?
 
NONE OF THE ABOVE. And I thank God that NO ONE selected Freddie Mitchell
:rolleyes:

None of the above. We need to worry about gettting Jacobs up to speed. :oink:

jdlea 05-08-2005 08:42 PM

Re: Worth It?
 
I like Boldin and Walker. I would go after either if they became available. We don't have a true number 1 and either of them would provide that. I, personally, like Walker more. He was my brother's fantasy team.

Anyway, they're both holding out because they deserve more money.

Re: Worth It?
 
Jevon Walker and Anquan Boldin are young up and comers that I would love to sign to a long extension. Both are probably staying right where they are. TO is a future HOF WR who in their right mind doesnt want him? But we cant afford him in this lifetime. Boston is not worth the thought. He is only good on steroids. I would rather have Koren Robinson and a bunch of stickum so he stops dropping everything. Mitchell is a promising young kid with good hands and great speed that needs to work on route running. He is all we can afford right now. Peter Warrick has very good speed, bad injury history and unreliable hands so dont anyone bring him up as an option.

e16bball 05-09-2005 04:02 AM

Re: Worth It?
 
I would take David Boston in a heartbeat for what he is going to end up getting paid. He is only 27, which means he has at least 6 good years left at WR, and he could be incredible if he stops getting injured. He is a really impressive combination of size and speed, and has the strength to be a guy who can make plays in short-yardage. I don't buy the "he is only good when juicing" argument. He was awesome in college, before juice (the BJ period if you willl) and I think he had somewhere in the vicinity of 90 catches, 1500 yards, and over 10 TDs his senior year. Not to mention the fact that he was pretty decent his rookie year before [i]anyone[/i] believes he was on steroids.

If nothing else, he is a good risk for the low contract he is going to get. I'd like to think we have the infrastructure to keep him focused, and if he is going from top-10 pick and Pro-Bowler to vet minimum one-year deal, he may well have something to prove. The guy has shown he can be a big-time force in the league, which is more than any other WR on our team can say, Moss included. He would be a nice fit split out wide because he can definitely take on the jam from the more physical corners and let Moss/Patten/Jacobs deal with the more finesse CBs or come from the slot. Just by that presence he would improve our team, and I honestly think if he avoids injury he can be dominant again. And hey, if we sign him and he sucks, there's no real long-term ramifications because it will be a one-year deal.

Re: Worth It?
 
Guys...Boston is worthless at this point. At best he is a league minimum guy and even then I wouldn't sign him based on the fact that he is a total screw up. He ran himself out of Arz after injuries and attitude problems and then ran himself out of SD with a lack of production and injury problems and then got suspended for jucing it. He shows a remarkable ability to make BAD decisions and be a complete idiot. Sounds like just what we need!

I agree 110%.

Not a Gibbs type player in the least bit.

dirtbag2112 05-09-2005 10:04 AM

Re: Worth It?
 
I too, have to say none of the above. Boldin and Walker are both going on to be good but they are both holding out for contracts. Give me someone who shuts his mouth and plays football!!!

Redskins_P 05-09-2005 10:47 AM

Re: Worth It?
 
For me it was a toss up between Boldin and None of the above. But, I always liked Boldin even when he was in Florida State. So I voted for Boldin. Good size and speed, and he's young.

firstdown 05-09-2005 11:46 AM

Re: Worth It?
 
I say none of the above and we spend our time and efforts with our current WR's. I think at this point we keep Rod unless we can pick up a decent draft pick for him and one of our WR should emerge as a true number one WR. All of our current WR have some good potential and this unit could be one of surprise in the NFL.

celts32 05-09-2005 02:43 PM

Re: Worth It?
 
Other than TO, Walker is the only one of them that i think would come in here and be the #1 WR they are lacking from day 1. He would be worth it, but he is also way to expensive for the skins to acquire. The skins have no #1 pick to trade for him and they also don't have the cap room to meet his contract demands.

dirtbag2112 05-09-2005 03:08 PM

Re: Worth It?
 
I hate to say the 'P' word, but when Patten came from New England he said that all of thier WR's were #1 guys. I think we're kinda adapting to the same philosophy. I would rather have 4 solid guys than one standout WR and 3 hacks.

SkinsRock 05-09-2005 03:47 PM

Re: Worth It?
 
I voted "None of the above". As others have said, I believe we now have a solid WR corps and we should focus on developing them.

But if I had to choose, I'd say either Walker or Boldin due to their strong performance the last couple years. They may be holding out, but at least they can keep their mouths shut most of the time....unlike one current and one ex-Eagle. Boston is basically the definition of "head-case". I don't know what anyone is thinking by choosing him. He was very good, but he will never get back to his previous form.

Boldin, Walker and TO are not scraps....they are excellent WR's.
I voted Walker but I would take any of those in a heartbeat.
Get a little stickum for TO and he will be enshrined in the HOF next year....LOL
Heck they may bronze him!

mooby 05-09-2005 05:40 PM

Re: Worth It?
 
nah. next year people will be talking about taylor jacobs in the same breath as they talk about javon, t.o., and anquan. plus, think about it. if t.o. came to washington and had the same consequences as in philly, would we be better off? is it worth getting great stats, or having one good season then turning your back on a team? i say its not worth it, no matter if t.o. caught every single pass that came his way.

TO is garbage and will probably (if somehow retained a HOF spot) would hold out of that too.

he would be upset of picture and statue locations and file a grievience

BossHog 05-09-2005 06:30 PM

Re: Worth It?
 
Instead of signing Patten maybe, we should've pursued Walker. :oink:
