Da Bears? What a drastic makeover for that offense it would be with just those two pickups.Maybe he and Nab can get on the same team next year and share their benching stories and hatered for their respective ( soon to be former ) teams.
Right, because you know him.FavreCo said:This guy is a loser at life.eric rymer said:apparently Boldin had some pretty bad post game comments as well. I heard them on Fox sports radion this morning from Sabin. I am looking for the link now.
Haley called a HORRIBLE game in the second half and almost cost us the game...Warner yelled at him, Boldin yelled at him, Fitz was yelling at him while on the field.The local media has been getting on Boldin, but any true Cards fan knows Boldin was the heart and soul of this team for several years and deserved to be on the field.I've bumped down Haley quite a bit after yesterday despite his impressive playcalling in the first half. GO CARDS!!

I heard them on Fox sports radion this morning from Sabin. I am looking for the link now.Boldin has given the team far more than the value of his contract, and they've treated him like crap! He played his tail off when the team sucked, and this year came back quick from having his face broken. He's always laid it all out on the field, and they refused to renegotiate with him, which means they didn't want him back. This is the first time he's caused a team disruption, and frankly, if you played your tail off and then you were barely on the field when the team finally makes the playoffs, wouldn't you be pissed?Too bad people here are only looking at one side of the story.
No question there are always two sides to every story, but stick around and celebrate the NFC championship with your teammates. That has nothing to do with how you've been treated by coaches or management.Right, because you know him.FavreCo said:This guy is a loser at life.eric rymer said:apparently Boldin had some pretty bad post game comments as well.

Isn't T. Suggs an unrestricted FA after this season? No need to give up Boldin for him. Just sign him and trade Boldin to somebody else for a couple draft picks. I LOVE Q and hope we can keep him, but the reality is that he no longer wants to be in AZ and we need to pay Dockett, Dansby, and A-Dub before we even sit down with Anquon.Haley called a HORRIBLE game in the second half and almost cost us the game...Warner yelled at him, Boldin yelled at him, Fitz was yelling at him while on the field.The local media has been getting on Boldin, but any true Cards fan knows Boldin was the heart and soul of this team for several years and deserved to be on the field.I've bumped down Haley quite a bit after yesterday despite his impressive playcalling in the first half. Early rumor is Boldin for T. Suggs. Boldin will restructure and go to the Ravens where he will be the star...Suggs comes back home where he has been very vocal about wanting to play for the Cards...Ravens will have to franchise him this year...makes sense to me.GO CARDS!!
I love overreaction Monday.Uh, what did Boldin do that deserves suspension?JuniorNB said:I'd love to see the Cards sack-up and suspend him for the Super Bowl. Don't even let him make the trip. Take the joy of this experience away from him if he wants to be a 'me-guy' during teh team's ultimate moment.![]()

That's not what I saw after Fitz's 2nd or 3rd TD (I believe it was his 2nd.) Everyone was jumping up and down celebrating when Fitz came off the field. Except Leinart, who was about 5 feet behind the OC and his face looked like someone just stole his puppy. He looked like he was just doing time on the sideline at that point.I'll contrast this with Leinart. While it's more than obvious that he's made his share of mistakes and hasn't lived up to his billing, at least rather than pout while watching Warner lead the team he celebrated with him after one of the touchdowns. To a certain degree it has to kind of kill you a little inside to watch someone else be the hero, but regardless of what you think of him as a player or how he acts off the field, Leinart at least showed enough as a teammate to be happy for the guy who took the job away from him.-QG
I'll contrast Boldin with Matt Leinart too:If I were Matt Leinart, collecting $6.1M for riding coat tails and sitting on the bench this year, I'd smile and play along too.If I'm Boldin, a top 5 WR in the league, getting paid and treated like a top 50 WR, I'd probably be pretty pissed too. Bolding played for $2.5M this year and is as dominant as about any WR in the league. How do you think he feels watching Kevin Curtis across the field collecting $3.7M in '08? Not good. I'm impressed that Boldin didn't run by the camera giving the owner the finger when he picked up the Halas trophy.Leinart sucks.Boldin is a bad assz in the NFL.Don't ever compare these two again.Apparently he bolted the locker room right after the game rather than celebrate going to the Super Bowl with his teammates. I gotta give that aI'll contrast this with Leinart.

??? How did you see this? How would Warner hear him? Is he yelling it into his headset as Warner is dropping back?I would think Boldin would have every reason to be jealous, esp given the contract Fitz got. But, he wasn't 100%, so the spread was not equal as it usually is.VTjkru said:I dont think this hurts his status in the market but as a fan it really diminishes my view of him. I cant think of a rational scenario that would warrant a player to act this way. The only thing I can think of is that Boldin was wide open for a couple of plays but Haley was screaming from the sidelines to not throw it to Boldin.
In what scenario other than injury or family emergency is it acceptable for any player to immediately leave the field while the team is celebrating the biggest victory in their history, and then when they finally make it back to the locker room after celebrating on the field, you are just bolting out the side door, sharing in NONE of the happiness.Let's not make a mountain out of a molehill or anything. Holy crap. Boldin has proven over the years to be about the least prima donna-esque WR there is. He has one break down of -whatever- and you're all ready to throw him under the bus? Not even a shred of benefit of the doubt here?

I don't think he is saying that is what happened.I took at that he (VTjkru) was exaggerating some scenario that would make Boldin's behaviour acceptable.??? How did you see this? How would Warner hear him? Is he yelling it into his headset as Warner is dropping back?VTjkru said:I dont think this hurts his status in the market but as a fan it really diminishes my view of him.

You have not been around here long enough.SPM said:I hope most of these comments are sarcasm because I'm not seeing anything that should cause people to switch from liking the guy to hating him that fast.

True but its also the behavior of a player who doesn't want to be part of the team.You don't leave after winning the biggest game in history for your organization...if you as a player are really all about winning and getting to the SuperBowl. Obv right now that is not the biggest thing on Boldin's mind otherwise he would have celebrated the fact that after all his team's, and his won, hard work and effort they now have the chance to be World Champions.He wants out.Mr. Boldin, please come to Jacksonville and yell at our OC.Some of you people are funny, none more than Mike Freeman. He left. He didn't stay and rain on everyone else parade. He didn't trash the to OC or the team to reporters while people sipped champagne. He left. Big deal. maybe he just wanted to celebrate with his family or friends. Maybe he was hurting and didn't want to risk injury in the wild after party. Or maybe he was mad, had nothing nice to say and left rather than say something he regrets later to the OC or reporters. But bottom line is the guy left saying basically nothing, that's not TO behavior.
So what? So he left, big deal. The people that wanted to stay and celebrate did and good for them. He did not want to stay and I don't see how that is perceived as some major slight to his teammates.In what scenario other than injury or family emergency is it acceptable for any player to immediately leave the field while the team is celebrating the biggest victory in their history, and then when they finally make it back to the locker room after celebrating on the field, you are just bolting out the side door, sharing in NONE of the happiness.Let's not make a mountain out of a molehill or anything.

Warner, who is close with Boldin, was concerned enough Sunday night to text him and ask if everything was cool. “I’m good,” Boldin responded

If I was his teammate, I'd care.What? Who cares if the man chooses or chooses not to celebrate?This is ######ed.

That's what I was referring to.You're slipping lately.But like Kurt Warner when he first signed with the Cardinals, times were tough, but I have no doubt you'll rise like a phoenix out of the ashes back to the level of greatness at which you once soared.have you seen my work in the FFA? i have impeccable credentials, guy.Hey everyone, the kettle's here to tell us we're all black.what a terrible thread this isyou all should be ashamed

I could buy that explanation if it weren't for his last statement in the interviewHe was probably embarassed with what took place during the game. I am sure he felt bad and a bit shameful for his actions. I am sure all things will be fine, he just needed some time to himself after having an out of character moment. Maybe he thought it was out of line to celebrate and be joyful after he had just been in a fight with his OC. Boldin has been one of the best WR's in the game and has remained very loyal to Arizona and his teammates and until we know more or perhaps he continues to undermine a OC I don't think there is any reason to worry.I've always loved Boldin as a player. He always seemed tough, focused & hard nosed at a position usually filled by prima donnas. I thought even more highly of him when he bounced back so quickly after the blow he took during the Jets/Cards game.Losing it in the heat of battle is one thing, BUT it's his behavior after the game that has left me shocked and disappointed.

Who is the etc.? Boldin is a top-5 NFL WR... heck, IMO he's better than AJ, especially if you want to argue injuries. Who are you going to stack up against him? TO? Calvin Johnson? and the two prior mentioned? What "level" of WR do you think he is??Boldin has been the guts and heart...but he also has been injured a ton and isn't the same level of a receiver as a Fitz, Andre Johnson, etc are.
Says you. Truth is you don't really know what the hell was going on between Boldin and the OC, you can only guess. A la TO, Boldin could have chosen to stick around and air his dirty laundry in the media, but he didn't. Given the likelihood that he may have said something he'd regret later, perhaps he decided that leaving would be taking the high road. Who knows? We sure as hell don't and neither do the talking heads on tv.Uh, yeah, the WHOLE TEAM stayed.Except for one guy who was more upset with his role in the game than the success of his team.So what?

Even read an interview with Kurt Warner and he was concerned enough with Boldin that he text messaged him. If it is a non-issue, why was Warner concerned?
