Hi FBG's, long time for those that remember.
So here's the question--if this is the wrong forum, whoops--is Boldin only in SF because of the fact there are Harbaugh's coaching both teams?
Here is why I think it's a question, if Balt. had shopped Boldin around more would he and they have gotten a better "deal"? If the answer to this is no for something obvious, again, whoops. And if they could have made better deals, did the quick trade with SF have more to do with familial relations and less to do with general protocol in the NFL? And if it is the latter, is that unethical? Or is it no big deal, coaches that are friends have been doing deals for as long as deals have been getting done; but still, doesn't that seem a bit weird?
Don't get me wrong, I think all involved came out great. Balt. kept its salary cap managable, SF got a solid vet. WR--which I am thinking should really help cultivate Crabtree with not only receiving, but leadership as well; I wouldn't be surprised if Boldin doesn't make Crabtree a top ten WR--and Boldin is still on a solid playoff team and may see more passes in SF than he would have in Balt. So clearly no one is #####ing. Still.
Cool, thanks.
