Well Snead has to worry about his role

WillSaints81 · 07-14-2016, 01:41 PM

If we get Boldin, he's likely going to the bench or sharing the slot with Thomas. Either way I'm not really liking this news. It's just taking away targets and snaps really with the more inexperienced receivers.

Saints make an offer to veteran receiver Anquan Boldin | ProFootballTalk

Boldin should be great mentor. Elite hands! Speed was never his game. One tough mot*****!

Some of you have been praying for this. I'm a little surprised by it myself.

Thanks for the Sneed video. Better than watching Sneed was watching Brees. It's like watching a great artist paint. The receivers are his brushes. The field is his canvas.

Hand him almost any brush and he'll produce a masterpiece.

There are plenty of balls to go around in the Saints offense... TONS actually. It shouldn't affect Snead much as he's shown he can play inside and out. Boldin would be a perfect fit in our offense.

It's not about talent all the time. I often preach against this philosophy in fantasy. Boldin may make big plays but I don't know how effective he will be in a limited count. Cooks is the only sure thing and he's got tough corners to play. It's not just Snead it's Thomas. What is we have corners locking down Cooks and Boldin and we need Thomas to do something? What if he's rusted? I just looked at how pathetic our receiving catch rate was last year and want that avoided this year. Sorry I still don't have faith in the oline. Streif might be making excuses for his age putting down the fired ol coach.

WS,

This ain't fantasy football. Someone at WR will struggle & you need a capable veteran who you can depend on when it's 3rd and 6 with 3 minutes left in the 4th quarter/game on the line ... especially since the great M Colston is gone.

Why do you think the organization is making a serious push to sign Mr. Boldin??

A natural gamer.

Saints offense is at its most potent when we keep rotating weapons on the field like a hockey team changes the lines...

Keep going back to the game at Pittsburgh when we annihilated the Steelers at Heinz field, and Jimmy Graham was out...

All players should worry about their role - that's a healthy thing for NFL players so as to avoid complacency...

But what you're gonna see is a time share at the "X" receiver between Thomas and Boldin with Boldin mentoring...

However, anytime that so much hype gets out like this before a signing announcement, it usually doesn't happen...
