Anquan Boldin is a brute coming off the line of scrimmage. He rarely jukes a cornerback, preferring to just plow through anyone that attempts to man up on him. The impressive part about it all is that he still manages to maintain his timing on routes. He's a tough, physical dude, and it's that grit that lands him on the sidelines every season for a few games. There is not a single other receiver in the league we would prefer more to line up opposite Larry Fitzgerald. He is the best possession receiver in the league, hands-down. He caught 101 balls... in his rookie year and remains the only WR in NFL history to accomplish that feat. Besides that, he also set records for most receiving yards by a rookie in his first game (217), most receptions in the first 26 games of an NFL career (157), and fastest to record 300 career receptions (47 games). He is the perfect complement to Fitz's game, and this is why the Cards need to figure out their salary cap woes and make this guy happy with a legit payday. They are seemingly trying to win the war of attrition like the Israelis did vs. the Egyptians in 1970, but we think Boldin eventually wins this one. He finally wised up and dumped Summer's Eve spokesman, Drew Rosenhaus. Rosenhaus' tactics only work for his less-skilled players for some odd reason.
