The Giants Suck Too

Boldin is pretty much the polar opposite to DeSean Jackson, which is why he'd be a good fit. Also, I think he's going to be more consistent and generally has a lower risk of missing time due to injury.

So, I'm on the record. I'd give up a first round pick for Boldin but would question doing so for Edwards.

I wouldnt give up a 1st for Edwards in a normal draft year...but, in a draft where you have 2 1st rounders? YES.

On the record.

without question

either Edwards/Boldin and Jackson tandem would be ridiculous

As long as he can keep from breaking his Hoyda face

True enough.

I should also say that the Eagles FO actually parting with a #1 pick for anybody would be newsworthy enough that I'd convince myself to like the move. But basically, I think Boldin is a better fit. Plus, Edwards issues with drops are not a good match with Donovan's issues with accuracy.

Tomahawk · March 23, 2009, 03:04:17 PM

I completely agree. Edwards has had one good season where he scored 16 TDs. Obviously that's a lot, but I'd say it's more of an aberration than the norm. And he seems to be more of a speed guy, making Boldin a better complement for Jackson

damn..I wasnt aware he was 2nd in the league in 2007 for drops as well. I dont like that pattern one bit

Who was 1st? TO?

I don't think the 16 TD year was a complete aberration. Think about it - he finally had someone behind center. Before that breakout season from Anderson, he had guys like Trent Dilfer and Charlie Frye throwing him the rock. I think last year may have been the aberration when once again he went through a litany of shtein QB's when Anderson went down. I know he hasn't consistently showed this, but I think he will be a 80 catch, 1,200 yard, 11 TD guy in a system where he would be used effectively - with a stable QB (insert McNabb joke here). Obviously, this team loves to throw, so....

reese125 · March 23, 2009, 04:50:48 PM

no matter the qb Die, its not like he was attemting acrobat catched due to poor throws--the ball was placed dead in his hands and he dropped them and when he was completely wide open.

can you imagine that guys psyche in this town after a game with that many drops--he may never catch a ball again

DH · March 23, 2009, 05:00:21 PM

Understood...when he drops a ball, it's a catch that most of us can make. And yes, this city would not take too kindly to a guy who drops balls at his frequency. I played WR...dropping balls isnt a hard thing to fix. It's about concentration and focus, or a lack thereof in Edwards case. The season which he flourished, not only did he have a top QB (albiet just for 1 season), but he played on a team that was in the playoff race till the final quarter of the final game of the season. Maybe that was motivation for him to keep focus. Who knows? But a guy doesnt just have a 16TD, 1300 yard season by accident.
