As much as I like what you're thinking, we would still be better off keeping picks rather then trying to add guys.
That said, how old is Q? Late 20's correct?
relax. it's all part of the game. warner was smiling right after they cut out of the "argument". if boldin doesn't get the ballthrown his way, it will be the Steeler's D rather than the play calling. he was fine after that layoff from that jet's injury.Originally Posted by recognizAZ
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Arizona Cardinals used only one receiver on nine of their final 14 plays in the NFC Championship Game.
Boldin
Boldin
Anquan Boldin was not that receiver.
Initial evidence suggests Boldin wasn't too happy with the situation.
As teammates streamed into the Cardinals' locker room after the 32-25 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, Boldin was seen leaving out the back door.
The two-time Pro Bowler was asked if an NFC championship helped alleviate any ill feelings he had toward the team.
"That's not an issue," Boldin said, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. "Like I told you guys at the beginning of the season, my main goal was to do this. I've come through with all of my promises. I fought. I gave my heart to this organization. It's paying off."
Eagles-Cardinals highlights
The Arizona Cardinals defeat the Philadelphia Eagles 32-25 in the NFC Championship Game.
Late in the game, cameras showed Boldin arguing with offensive coordinator Todd Haley on the sideline. Once the game ended, Boldin left the field quickly without celebrating.
In the locker room, Haley dismissed the sideline interaction as part of the game. He described himself as emotional.
"Just the emotions of the game," Haley said. "We're emotional guys. Like I said, I wear my heart on my sleeve and that's the way I go about business and I have to deal with that on a full-time basis."
Cameras also showed Haley and quarterback Kurt Warner in heated conversation, but Warner and Haley have a strong history.
Warner has even joked about spending so much time speaking with Haley that his wife has suspected the quarterback might be having an affair.
But Boldin's relationship with the team has been more contentious, stemming from a contract dispute.
Boldin even requested a trade in August, saying he didn't feel his situation could be resolved and declaring he has no relationship with coach Ken Whisenhunt.
Boldin has three years left on the four-year, $22.75 million extension he signed after the 2005 season that keeps him under contract through 2010. He's making an average of
$4 million a year.
im pissed right now... I saw their argument on the sideline during the game. We absolutely dont need this right now.
I hope Q didnt get the ball so much was to keep him from reinjuring his hamstring.
SMH AT THIS
FREEMAN CALLS BOLDIN A "%@!$$%@"

Our buddy Mike Freeman of CBS Sports had some choice words for Cardinals receiver Anquan Boldin, based on his behavior during Sunday's NFC title game.
Freeman points out that, as the FOX cameras demonstrated, Boldin engaged in a fourth-quarter argument with offensive coordinator Todd Haley.
After the game, Boldin still had his panties in a bunch. Per Freeman, he abruptly left the field while his teammates were celebrating the victory, and then he abruptly left the locker room.
"I have to say in nearly 20 years of doing this, I've never seen a player more concerned about his arguing with a coach over making a Super Bowl," Freeman writes. "What Boldin did almost never happens. Congratulations on making history, Anquan."
It'll be interesting to see what kind of legs this thing grows over the next two weeks.
And if it was part of Boldin's plan to get out of town, it just might have worked.
Leaving your teammates like that while they're celebrating the biggest moment in franchise history? Uh, not cool sir. Put your selfishnessaside for a bit.
On another note... taken from Mike Wilbon's article today:
You want to know what quarterbacks in modern history (since 1950) have been better than Roethlisberger through five seasons? None. Nobody. Not Joe Willie Namath, not Joe Montana, nobody. Big Ben is the only quarterback to win 51 games his first five seasons. That's three victories better than Otto Graham, Dan Marino, Tom Brady and John Elway. If I had to win a game to save my own life I'd take Roethlisberger over everybody who played in the NFL this season, and that includes everybody named Manning. It's difficult to understand why the praise is so grudging.

Agreed. I just want to see a great game. I don't think this is a boring matchup at all. It should be good.Originally Posted by KB8sandiego
