He’s put up big time numbers for us year after year. I would feel the same way. It’s as if your sibling(Fitzgerald) gets more love from the parents(organization), and you are the red headed step child. Fitz is turning into the face of the organization, which I have no problem with at all, but I see where Boldin is frustrated. The media is playing him out to be the disruptive bad guy.

Sounds like a guy that still feels betrayed and is holding some hard feelings from the beginning of the season.

We’ve heard this type of thing before when Bidwill has ratcheted up his bean-counting, so it’s nothing new; unfortunately.

I would say if this season was another losing one, you could expect them to trade him. But after making the Super Bowl. Its a whole different story.

You’re absolutely right Bullock. Q isn’t T.O. and I would also quickly defend his class as an athlete and team contributor in an instant.

I don’t want to seem like I’m coming down on Q too much, I just didn’t like how he acted during a moment of such great joy, I didn’t like that he walked away from his team during their chance to celebrate together.

He’s amazing and has been such a driving force to get the Cards where they are. I would really like for them to get a package together and settle all of this bad tension and put these issues to rest once and for all.

but to replace Boldin for him on a key drive in the game doens’t make too much sense. We won’t really know much, just that he was frustrated.

It sounds like he made it home, thought about what a bonehead move he made and knew that he let his emotions control his actions. Then he thought about all of the potential impact that a “situation” could do to this team as well as his future employment from either this team or a future team.

So he came up with the best “put the issue to rest” story that he could considering his actions and came forward to try and settle the media storm before it began turning him into a T.O.

Actually, if you read the comments, you will see several Cardinal fans expressing how they feel about the matter and that Q was wrong. I personally don’t agree with his actions either. BUT, he’s done a lot more good for the team then bad. He’s been around longer then Larry and produced more (up until this year), yet Larry got a huge deal. Why not Q? I think a lot of Cardinal’s fans took Q for granted. We’ll find out whats going to happen this offseason and the whole Anquan situation when that time comes.

He lost all validity to his argument and made himself out to be the bad guy. Had he handle it more gracefully and professionally, he would have been able to force the Cardinals managements’ hands and either got his money, or been traded to someone who would show it to him. Now he’s the bad guy, the distraction and the nuisance “T.O.” type player that the media loves to add fuel to the flame for their news stories. We all make mistakes and different people handle their anger in different ways, but when you’re on the national stage as Bolden is, you have to constantly critique and internalize your actions.

After the Jets game, we were all up in arms for him to be paid his money, and I still stand firm to him being an intricate part of the equation the got us to the Super Bowl. However, this temper tantrum he just threw after this game is inexcusable. He only hurt himself and his team by doing this and instead of downplaying the magnitude of this situation, I think an apology to his teammates and fans is in order. Like it or not, you are a role model Bolden. You were the minute you started collecting your over inflated paychecks to play a game, act like it!

Receiver is the one area where I view someone as being expendable and that someone is Q. Love you Q but we are deep at wide out. Breaston and Urban have both proven they can handle the load and Doucet has shown signs of being the man to fill Q’s spot (eventually).

If coaching goes in the direction I think (we all know) they should this off season, BALANCING THE OFFENSE. We would draft/trade O-Line and possibly a top notch RB making Q even more expendable (can’t believe I’m putting Q and expendable in the same sentence).

My last point would be the Q hasn’t exactly been the healthiest physical specimen throught out his tenure with Arizona. There is no way the Bidwell’s are going to pay Larry money for another receiver who. 1. Is prone to injury 2. Isn’t happy with the organization. 3. Wasn’t at the top of his game since the big hit (yeah, I said it). 3. Doesn’t cooperate with the coaching staff. 4. Has three capable back ups who proved this season they can win ball games when Q isn’t there.

But a lot of people don’t realize he is still under contract for 2 more years. And even if he asks to be traded in the offseason again, management has shown they won’t do it no matter how much attention it draws. I would expect that if we win the super bowl, he will get a new deal. But its hard to say really.
