Is Boldin the next T.O.??

[daggerkobe]

Did u see that during the Cardinals game winning TD drive he got into a shouting match with the OC and had to be restrained by a teammate????

It seemed like he was upset about not getting the ball more or being pulled. What an ass!

[SBR Lou]

He didn't look real fast out there today.

[The Seer]

he was frustrated no doubt but wasn't 100%

[mmike032]

seeing those kind of things makes me lose respect for players.

[AC1318]

He is injury prone and didn't he want out of arizona during the off season

The eagles were trying to get fitzgerald at the time.

boy did he torch the eagles today

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Arizona Cardinals used only one receiver on nine of their final 14 plays in the NFC Championship Game.

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."

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.

Cards need to make a statement and deactivate this fool and not allow him on the plane to Tampa then release him after the game. What a jackass.

[jjgold]

Nah use him for one more game and then release him, they might need him

[The HG]

Is it just my imagination or is there a high correlation between being an elite NFL WR and being loony tunes? Chad Ocho Cinquo, TO, Boldin, Plaxico, etc etc etc.

Any theories as to why this may be the case? Running hard on so many pass patterns but getting the big payoff only once in a while maybe?

[jjgold]

Lets face it, when healthy the guy is fukkin deadly

Warner will smooth it over

[SlicWilly3]

Boldin is nothing like TO.....You can't be serious with that??

He's a classy guy......Arguments like that happen all the time on the sidelines.
I would love the 9ers (my fav team) to trade for Boldin. Arizona can win without him, because they have Fitz (Prob the best all around WR in the game, period).
But Boldin is nasty, and plays with a lot of heart/passion.
He's not a locker room cancer like TO....NOT EVEN CLOSE.

[daggerkobe]

TO verbally assaults the OC when he doesn't get his way. Just like Boldin yesterday.
TO sulks when he doesn't get bunch of catches even though the team won. Just like Boldin yesterday.
TO doesn't get along with his teammates. Just like Boldin walking out on his yesterday.

He's exactly like TO.

He's lucky they won or he'd be even more vilified. I mean what a selfish asshole to start a shouting match during the most crucial drive of the season! What if the OC had called the wrong play because of it and they lose???? What a jackass!

[slacker00]

Give the guy a pass, it's a first offense. He's had one hell of a season with that one hit earlier this year, you gotta give the guy a pass this year.

[Skanless1]

most WR's are just little insecure divas who throw fits when things don't go their way... almost like they never learned that the world DOESN'T revolve around them.

If your aren't emotional and trying to do everything you can to help your team win like he was wanting to but lets face it he wasn't up to snub... It was an argument big deal.

Boldin doesn't have problems like this... on a regular basis...he got snubbed on the most important drive of the season and wanted to be out there for his teammates.

Boldin is not a sulking sucker like TO... . that simple

Boldin walked out to avoid the media circus that is now ensuing. Its that simple. He was trying to not ruin there moment.

[Dark Horse]

He had his shot in the game, but was too slow to get to the pass. Warner was on target the whole game, so it looked like Boldin was a step slow; also judging from the reaction of disbelief by Fitzgerald after that incompletion. The Cards didn't use Boldin afterwards. So there was a little run-in with the offensive coordinator, who is not the easiest guy to get along with. Warner and him have frequent disagreements at the sideline as well. It is true that Boldin chose a bad time for this, but this isn't a case of locker room cancer. Boldin is no insecure drama queen like TO.

Now that the Cards are in the Super Bowl the press will be all over every little detail in their lives, but Warner has the experience and know-how to steer them through this. They can handle the circus. Hopefully the press will stop digging for a Boldin story once they realize there's nothing to find.

[manitobashadow]

Show me a good loser, and i ll show you a loser.

[jjgold]

I think also Boldin is not a god blocker and th type of plays they were calling required blockers on the last drive.

Boldin will be fine.

[Chi_archie]

can't believe he didn't celebrate with his teamates... they made it to the superbowl when they were 40:1 to do it when THE PLAYOFFS STARTED.

such individuality despite team success....unreal...

when was the last time this guy had a good game? As fitzgerald has started to dominate Breaston and Bolden have kinda faded away....

when was the last time a team had 3 wr's with 1000 yards in a season? that is impressive

[daggerkobe]

Yeah what kind of a selfish prick doesnt stick around to celebrate the most important win in franchise history with his teammates?

He'll be a huge distraction for them so they are better off leaving him in AZ.

Teams with distractions dont do well in the SB..... I remember when a Falcons player was arrested a day prior to the SB for soliciting prostitutes. They lost. A Raiders player went to Mexico and got drunk a day before the SB and they lost. Keep this selfish prick at home to mope dont let him destroy team chemistry!!!!!

[SFwillis52]

My answer to this is no, and I remember TO being in my beloved 9ers locker room, stirring the pot. Boldin did not do anything public, like come out bashing something. He did not call his QB a rat, do sit ups in the lawn, or put up a tantrum because he was getting traded to Baltimore back in early 2004.

[cmnjr24]

He is starting to look like it.
