In fact, the reason Joe looked so good was because his WRs were simplying beasting. That 4th and inches catch by Boldin was incredible. Boldin and the other Ravens WRs pretty much carried Flacco to that Super Bowl.


Completely agree. Ive always felt Flaco is good QB, and until recently have felt he was underrated, but the dudes not as good as how much he got paid. I dont know if hes smart or dumb for not tkaing less in order to keep Boldin around.

Adrian Peterson ‏@AdrianPeterson on Harvin trade:
The best all around player I ever seen or you'll ever see! Goes to Seattle! I feel like I just got kicked in the stomach. Several times!!!

At least we all know that Peterson will recover quickly from getting kicked in the stomach.


LOL :laughing2

The league is definitely not on board when it comes to marijuana.

Marijuana legalization won't change NFL drug policy - NFL.com (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000091645/article/marijuana-legalization-wont-change-nfl-drug-policy)


Of course not.... at least yet.

But allowing a player with a well documented medical history of severe and dangerous headaches, who by the course of his employment exposes himself to regular head injuries, to use weed for medical reasons in a state where marijuana is legal could be the first step in the inevitability of gradualness the NFL is likely looking for to keep this thing from turning into a very public legal battle as more and more states legalize the weed.

Yeah that's opening up a pretty big can of worms. Not sure the league wants to even touch that anytime soon.

I honestly think San Fran got the better player (and value) today over Seattle.

Might agree, Harvin & Tate kind of the same player IMO.

I don't like it. To me guys like Harvin are great when you have a QB that can't throw to save his life and you need to rely on gadget plays to give your running game some room, but when you have a guy like Wilson that can throw in a more traditional, less gimicky offense, then those gadget players can become a distraction because the temptation to call a play just to get someone involved has the potential to disrupt the rhythm and organic development of an offense.

On top of that top flight kick returners frequently are at risk to fall off the face of the Earth.

Now with that said if Harvin can develop into a more traditional receiving option, get better at running routes, especially now that he has a QB that can get him the ball downfield, and combine that with his amazing athletic ability then he will be a steal but for now I'm very skeptical that this will work.

Boldin is the toughest wideout in the game- He played with a wired jaw the week after it was broken. Oh and he refused to take painkillers during recovery.

Certainly the better value. A 6th rounder for a solid, occasionally beast like, WR OR a first rounder (and more) for a headcase, fragile playmaker.

Seriously, for a 6th rounder, anything they get from Boldin will be gravy. Given what I have seen as the price for Harvin, he has to be a consistent playmaker to be worth what was given.
