He clarified a little bit about the reason he was so upset with the Bears game time decision, it wasn’t the decision (now that he’s not raging mad), it was the way it was handled. He’s doing an excellent job of staying in the middle politically, but he’s sticking to ostracizing himself from the coaches and front office by continuing to say things like “I’ve never had a problem with any of the players”.

He did catch on that he was starting to make it a negative interview but turned it around by talking about how well the team is playing and will continue to play.

The one thing that stuck out to me is that he wouldn’t even concede the point in any way that sitting against the Bears helped him have a great week against the Seahawks. He said he felt exactly the same. Even though he was pulled out of the Carolina game because he reinjured his ankle. I think he’s just being stubborn, but we all know two weeks to let your body heal is beneficial.

overreacting a bit on this. While he and the Whiz probably don’t invite each other to dinner, they’ve proven that they can effectively co-exist with each other when the games begin. I didn’t hear anything that would make me call him “just another 81,” especially when the interview starts, and he’s being asked about how he works with the at-risk in youth Phoenix to help make their futures brighter.

Even Whisenhunt said that he can appreciate that a competitor always wants to play. We’ve said it many times before, and it bears repeating, that we’re a better team with him than without.

is another wait and see moment. I am sure he will talk more like this again for the rest of the season. Then he will talk again about his contract and more money. Then he will talk again about getting out of Arizona because they can’t agree. More likely Boldin will be done in Arizona because Breaston has stepped up and shown he is capable. I think Boldin was brought back more as an insurance policy to see how Breaston and Doucet worked out. Now they know and can decide after the season what to do.

I can count on one hand the number of players in the nfl that i respect more than boldin.

Having said that, from a business perspective it makes sense to trade him once the season is over. It would most likely be best for the future of the Cardinals to get some high value draft picks through a trade rather than one last year of Q’s services, or resigning him to an expensive deal.

We will have a lot of urgent needs after this season. Building through the draft is the recipe for success.

I would be happy with a high 2nd round pick and maybe a 4th or 5th. The 2010 draft should be loaded with talent and 2nd round picks have the potential to be as good 1st rounders in previous years.

Don’t buy into the media’s bullshit that Q’s a huge distraction and is just trying to get traded. As far as his contract, I would be pissed to. Larry (nothing against hime he earned his pay day) came in a year after Q and got a huge contract before him, which is really shiity on the organization’s part, because Q came in immediately and made an impact. They promised him a new contract TWO years ago, and there’s been no negotiations between the parties. And the whole time he’s been here (besides injuries) he’s produced like a #1. This team, and we as fans, owe Boldin a huge amount of respect, gratitude, and credit for what he’s done for this team. No Boldin, no Superbowl. So before everyone gets the lynch mob together to run him out of town, think about what he means to this team, and what we would be without him. Think about it, why would Fitz and Warner want to restructure their contracts just to keep him here if he really wasn’t all that vital to this team? I’m not saying we can’t survive without him, but those playoffs sure would seam like long shot wouldn’t they? So to the fans, love Q for what he is: the fire under the ass of the offense; and to the Cardinals organization, pay the mother fucker, he deserves it.
