So what do we do about receiver

[shovelpass]

18 and 11. Could we upgrade? Sure, but they can be solid weapons when given the ball accurately or at all.

 

[LesBaker]

I understand Les, but he's just another ego-centric filthy rich NFL owner.

It's all about the Horns(and the booty). Get on board my friend. Let it go.

Not really anything to let go. I've been a fan since 18 was throwing to 84. I'm not changing horses just because the jockey is a *** LOL.

Didn't know that, thanks for the update.

I gotta hear this. Then why is he still on the street?
He will play next year and be productive at that. I hope its with us
Isaac Bruce caught 61 for 800+ as a 36 year old
Tim Brown caught 81 for 900+ as a 36 year old
Terrell Owens caught 55 for 800+ as a 36 year old
No reason to think he doesn't have any left in the tank

The fact that you can name only 3 players who performed well at 36 proves my point. By the way, there are more. However, the odds of Boldin producing at that level this year are very low. He is too old.

Who do we have of value that we are willing to give up to get a wr.

One of our remaining picks.

Who said I can only name 3? Were the first 3 that came to mind.
But I get it, you're not here to discuss the Rams, you're just trying to stir stuff up. There's no reason to think Boldin cant produce, he doesn't rely on speed
But carry on with the nonsense

No, the odds are not very low. Boldin put up back to back 1000+ yard seasons in 2013 and 2014. He was on pace for a 1000+ yard season last year before getting hurt despite terrible QB play. Boldin's game isn't speed. It's size, strength, route running, physicality, and hands. None of those parts of his skill-set have diminished. Boldin still has at least one more productive year left in the tank. In the right circumstances, he can put up another 900-1000 yard season.

This is ample "reason to think Boldin cant produce." That reason is age and the fact that even very good receivers hit a wall at that age. You may disagree. You may be able to point to a few great players who had good seasons at 36.

The odds of Boldin having a good season this year are low. That is why no other team has signed him yet. Certainly we can agree that these are not controversial statements?

Not in this division. He gets shut down by Seattle and pretty sure he gets shut down by Az. That's 4 games right there.

I've given this a little thought myself. Unfortunately Tre Mason's offseason has devalued him, i'm not giving away anything on defense for a pick or WR. I think we're pretty much stuck unless something happens on draft day where we can generate interest in Case Keenum, Mannion or Nick Foles to a team looking to add some insurance to their roster. Or a team that flat-out fails to land a Lynch, Cook, Kaepernick etc....

Not very promising. I personally don't think looking to ship players out is a very good idea after this amazing trade today.

What about Tj McDonald?

Saffold, TJ Mcdonald? I think we could survive without either one of them but I don't know what they would fetch in a trade. and I can't think of anybody else I would be willing to give up we are deep at those 2 positions. Would love to trade one or two of our QBs. How about offering Foles and Keenum to Denver for Sanders. Or talk Calvin Johnson out of retirement.

I thought about Tj. If Johnson comes out of retirement he's still under contract

I can point to his production over his last 3-4 years and say I don't see why at 36 there will be a drop off.
Your only defense is in just stating he cant, that's not "controversial" that's just being obtuse.
There have been plenty of other WR who played well at 36, and I see no reason to think otherwise.
Ryan Fitzpatrick isn't signed either, I guess his career is over

He had 5 catches for 93 yards in a loss vs Seattle and then the next week had 8 catches for 93 yards vs Arizona
And that was with Blaine Gabbert at QB

It all looked good except the fist bump with Cooked at the end.

Seriously. He has been playing well in this division with SF for the past few years.

 

[Merlin]

I think that NOW the Rams can actually attract a WR like Boldin. He doesn't want to come in here and have Keenum passes sail by his head. Them getting serious about QB changes that equation, and Boldin is a nice one or two year guy to "bridge" things to next year when they get a WR high.

As to the draft, you can bank that a WR or TE they really like will slide to round 3, so a trade up is an option too. I could for example see Caroo sliding, and boy would he be a great guy for them to move up and take.

Either way I'm happy though. QB is the toughest thing to get and we're now good to go for 5 years. Let's party foos!!!

Your comment about Fitzpatrick is a straw man argument. It is beneath you. If Fitzpatrick was 28 he'd be signed right now.

Statistically speaking quarterbacks tend to remain productive at much older ages than wide receivers. Of course you know that already.

I thought it was only against us lol. But he wants to go to a contender. Don't think he wants to play with a rookie

Don't let facts get in the way of one of his theories!

 

[DaveFan'51]

We have two 4th and two 6th round picks we can get a couple with those as well as a DB and DT.

Yes! I say let Snisher work their magic! You know they must have a plan!!
