Rumor: Giants Looking At Boldin To Replace Plax

[Redskin Warrior]

Giants could make Anquan Boldin move to replace Plaxico Burress

Not if Fitz can help it

I think Boldin is great, but I heard a pretty interesting interview the other day basically pointing out that over the years when Fitz has not been in the picture and the opposing defense puts their best corner on Boldin he's no great shakes.

Fitz is one of my favorite players in the NFL. Class guy on and off the field. But why should he have to restructure when the Cards have plenty of money ( under the cap ) to pay Boldin? Cards ought to be ashamed of themselves for not paying Boldin. This is one guy who deserves a new contract.

Just don't let Boldin hang out with Plax-he might get his leg shot off.

I'm a big fan of Boldin. I wish the Skins could land him.

for some reason, I'm not too worried about boldin signing w/them.

Then again, I'm not the one to look to when predicting the g-men's success. Every year it seems that I think they won't be much, they beat us &/or win other big games.

Please god no!!!
Boldin is a beast.

[Skins_4_Lyfe]

...Then we should look at Plax to replace the receiver we need

[PWNED]

yes boldin is a beast. but dont owrry, the giants will draft someone in the sixth round thatll be better.

those bastards ALWAYS seem to find someone to replace their big time players that come out of nowhere.

First let me say I don't agree with it, but it was this statistical analysis that said when Boldin was up against the game's elite receivers (usually Fitz gets that guy), Boldin's yards per catch and completion rate were ok. Basically saying that without Fitzgerald you may experience a significant drop-off in Boldin's peformance. Sort of how, but perhaps not to the extreme extent, of how Bryant Johnson kinda sucked this year.

Maybe it came from Football Outsiders, I forget

I think that one was Joyner. At least that's what I remember.

Couldn't they say the same about Fitz without Boldin? Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Boldin lead the NFL in recieving TD's this year even after missing a few weeks because someone decided to amputate his face?

I know that you do not agree. this reminds me of a stat from the 90's where the commentators said something like "the Bills have a better winning percentage when Bruce Smith isn't in the game". That was back when he was a stellar DE. The Bills would not have wanted to face any offense without Bruce Smith if they could help it.

Some of these guys just like to bring up pointless stats and pass them off as knowlege and pray that you do no realize that they are talking out of their ass. That's how they continue to get paid.

The skins will land him, although he will be 36 when they do.

Look you all fail to see the problem. So go ahead and bring in Bolden. Who cares. He will be mediocre here. Look who's coaching him. Yes, like Moss and ARE he will have some talent but he will only be a shadow of himself as long as we have Hixon.
