Rumor: Giants Looking At Boldin To Replace Plax

Huh?


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

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.

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

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.

Giants could make Anquan Boldin move to replace Plaxico Burress (http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/giants/2008/12/06/2008-12-06_giants_could_make_anquan_boldin_move_to_.html)

Well ESPN (Insider Rumors) has this story dated for today and they link it to an article from the New York Daily News dated January 26th.

Cardinals' Anquan Boldin a nice fit for Giants to replace Plaxico Burress (http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/giants/2009/01/26/2009-01-26_cardinals_anquan_boldin_a_nice_fit_for_g.html)

We need to trade Randel El and next years number 2 draft pick and try to land Boldin here. That would take a lot of pressure off of Moss and Cooley and give us a legitimate receiving threat.

I think it is more important to get the pressure off Campbell so he can throw the ball.
