he wasn't burning anyone, the catches he made were just plain weird and as fluky as possible..
Bold is done huh, shame he couldn't have been done four months ago when he and Flacco were beating everyone to win the championship..

K..
Boldin isn't there to burn anyone, he's there to move the chains. He's an underneath receiver, a little too fast for a backer, too big and strong for a db. He's a solid receiver, just 33 (soon) years old.
Hmmmmmm....Chad Johnson?

Lol this thread just got re ed. I wish boldin was done when e shredded New England to pieces in the playoffs.
Makes the Bolden trade that much better. Crabtree is nothing more than average, if that. I really thought he would at least be a solid starter coming out of Tech.
lol 1100 yards and 9 touchdowns with Alex Smith/Kaepernick at QB being "nothing more than average"
Boldin is my bro,but he's gonna have a hard time getting open this season IMO. Add to that all the game film on Kaeps rookie year now available to the opposition...
This is a setback for their offense.
And Mario Manningham is coming off a torn ACL and does not have Hakeem Nicks or Victor Cruz by his side, nor does he have Eli throwing him the ball, so he won't be doing much.
49ers are being punished for losing the Super Bowl. This is the curse every SB loser has to deal with.
When Kaepernick took over Crabtree was undoubtedly the go-to guy on the team. He had 20 rec, 300 yds, and 3 tds in the playoffs, and led the Niners in receiving in 11 games this past year (including A. Smith starts). It definitely hurts to lose him.
If Boldin and Manningham are still who they are and rookie Patton shows up, we're good....enought.
Who do you think Manningham is? Dude has talent but he had one "good" year and basically got paid b/c of 2 postseason receptions--both of which were pinpoint throws by Eli into tight coverage. Horrible route runner, prone to drops, and has played all 16 games just once in his career.
-Boldin is solid, but you're getting a 33 y/o WR who just won the SB--and he initially said he would retire if the Ravens let him go. How motivated is he really gonna be?
-Patton's a rookie--big IF (see AJ Jenkins). If Vernon Davis goes down the 49ers offense will be in deep imo
Problem is that WR is the position where the 49ers could least afford to have injuries, IMO. It's probably the thinnest area they have in terms of depth, IMO.
His numbers are pretty much on par with most second receivers, when it comes to Manningham. no he's no John Taylor but like I said, good...enought.
It really does pretty much zero in on Boldin, he will be the key, if he comes to play I do think that combo will be adequate. No way in am I even remotely close to ...oh boy..yippeee...over our situation, yep...sucks. But we didn;t get there passing the ball. We run, play solid D, and special teams. We really don't need that great receiver.
I do think young Patton will surprise, yes Jenkins a bust.
Well this was pretty much my point...it doesn't really matter how hard Boldin brings it. Without a go to guy like Crabtree on the other side i mean....
Even the great Larry Fitzgerald cant get open with bad QB play and NO ONE on the other side of the field drawing coverage.
There's no need to think Manningham can't get the job done. Like I mentioned, he's good enought. Just maybe young Patton comes on early.
You mean, apart from the myriad of reasons (and facts) I listed in my last post?
Tough loss. Will be interesting to see how Harbaugh and Roman adapt.
Boldin's gonna have to be the #1, and Manningham will need to be effective enough to stretch defenses so VDavis has room underneath. Probably see a lot more activity from the backfield guys in the passing game as well.
We're going to find out real quick whether Kap can make guys better or if he'll be running around even more due to the lack of an aerial threat. If it's the latter, i'll be crossing my fingers every Sunday that I won't have to see Cart McCry running the Niner offense
Meh. Kap running for 1000 yards will help ease the loss.
niners are gonna end up 3rd in the division tbh.
