I love this move for San Fran. They only give up a 6th rounder for a proven veteran. This is a great move. Boldin has never been a speedster-he catches the ball while covered. He is one of the toughest players in the NFL as well.

Its not question of production or effectiveness, at all. Its just a salary dump.
Boldin was highly, highly effective. He manhandled New Englands secondary and was huge in the Super Bowl. That third and 1 conversion was an enormous play, and he beat his man by outmuscling him for the ball. How many NFL receivers make that play? Or understand the audible and what Flacco wanted? Brandon Marshall does, Fitz does, Megatron, probably Vincent Jackson, probably Bowe, oh am I making a top ten list of big bodied receivers?
Boldin is a beast. Period. This is a huge pickup for SF who gets not only a phenomenally tough and intelligent slot receiver (played with a broken jaw, are you kidding me?) but a mature leader with no baggage. Boldin is atypical for WRs in that he is a team first guy and was always content wherever he was, whether it was being Larry Fitzgeralds second banana or being underutilized his first couple years in Baltimore with a young QB and run first offense.
Farewell Q you were phenomenal and Ravens fans will always fondly remember you. You sealed your time in M&T with a bow and should you return at some point expect a standing ovation.

Place Clever Title Here
Bmore don't even need Lewis, Reed, Boldin. Falco will be the savior.

The Niners have 14 picks. To only ask for and get a 6th when they have fistfuls of middle round picks, and with Harvin getting a 1st, 3rd, and 7th, thats obscene.
Third rounder woulda been better, SF had Baltimore over a barrel. How do they have that much cap space?

I cry about baseball and how ridiculous it is that the Dodgers and Marlins are in the same league and competing for the same pennant. Its absurd, I mean, English soccer has like the same 4 teams in contention every year and 20 also-rans, every damn year, its totally unfair.
Here we have the salary cap in full display. A championship team is dismantled and sells off important role players, which is supposed to happen, and Cleveland has like 50 mil in cap space, which is also supposed to happen. How does SF have that much cap room though? Its amazing.
I'm a Ravens fan and yes, my favorite team is getting diminished by the NFLs cap but I still support it. It rewards good drafting and savvy GMs, you can't just buy titles. Leagues without a cap are bogus and MLB is the perfect example. Loria should have his team taken from him and what the Dodgers are doing is pretty unfair, I would sooner see the Yankees win the WS in 2013 than LA. Which is like choosing which child molester to root for in a prison yard sissy shank fight.

You know whats way funnier than your ****ty memes? Mike Tomlin being the worst head coach in the league. Thats way funnier.
1-5 in the division next year with 2 losses to Baltimore, 2 losses to Cincy, and a home/home split with Cleveland. Thats also pretty funny.
Is it time to talk about the 70s yet?

And what's the ravens gonna do without the spiritual leadership of a murderous man? I see the ravens finishing 7-9 next season mark it down.

Well... I believe the 49ers just won the SB next season.. Even though the season is still 6 months away.
We'll see.. but getting Boldin for a 6th round pick is pretty unbelievable.
The 49ers as other teams in the same division have been building for years to this point and because of that... The NFC West is no joke now. All the teams are good in this Div.. except for the Cardinals of course.

Niners loading up but Seattle is good enough to win the NFC outright.
I'm not worried about the Ravens losing Ray Lewis, he was old and slow and hurt, much more worried about losing Ed Reed. Boldin was a FA who came and went. Krueger is a role player who played 9 good games in 3 seasons and Ellerbe is staying put. Ozzie will draft well because he's a great GM and great talent evaluator. Baltimore has picks for once, and will get a tackle at 32 and is set up to continue to succeed.

Did Pitta or Smith win them that SB ring? Nope.. Boldin did.
Ray Rice - 59 yards on the ground. Avg - 3 yards per carry.
Frank Gore - 110 @ 5.8 per carry.
Rice made a small contribution but nearly as impactful as Boldins.
So.. Who won that SB for them besides Flacco and Boldin?
Which leads me back to the OG question with a little accented aspect: Who are they going to throw to now that will be as good as Boldin?

Mike Holmgrens mustache is wagging back and forth like Von Kaiser. He might come tumbling out of the internet and choke a *****.

niners build their team like seattle is doing now, great draft picks and defense first. I love teams that build like that, not teams that go out and buy the best available.
