He thinks he's Larry Fitzgerald but he isn't. He's a good player, but not one of the top five receivers as some would have you think.

Chocolate Ice Cream vs. Lemon Ice...

Which is better? Sometimes I’ve got to have a chocolate cone. Other times (especially after very heavy Italian meals) I’d kill for some lemon sorbet.

As they say in the Army: “It depends on the terrain.”

Fitz and Q each have a few different attributes. Fitz is pure money jumping high to fight for a ball. There are few if any tougher wideouts other than Boldin running after the catch.

In the Cardinal offense, all 11 players have a part to play on any given down. (i.e. if Deuce blows his assignment, Kurt doesn’t get the ball off in time and the ball never reaches Q or Fitz).

Within that context, there is no such thing as a “#1” or “#2” receiver. Just “receivers” who have different roles during each offensive play. This #1 and #2 stuff is just something created by media pundits who need to find something to write about.

From a contract and locker room chemistry standpoint, trying to make this an issue is not helpful.

I'd say he's underrated if anything

He drew shockingly little attention this off-season for a player of his caliber. Nobody remembers his hot regular season because Fitz drew the spotlight with his spectacular playoff performance.

Prisco's such an idiot

Having stated the obvious, the dumbshit might want to take this into consideration before he speaks next time:

Michael Irvin stated that if he was starting a team that Boldin would be the first WR he’d take, Antrel Rolle said Boldin is the most difficult receiver he’s ever covered, he has been to 3 Pro Bowls in six seasons with a franchise, that until recently, was a place that wasn’t exactly highly respected throughout the league, plays through injuries that would sideline most linebackers, and his career stats/pro bowl selections through his first six years in the league equal or surpass that of the aforementioned Cowboy HOF WR.

Of course, compared to Prisco what would a guy like Irvin know?

Boldin and Fitz are about equal, they are just better at different things.

+1

Both receivers are completely different types of receivers but both of them are the best at what they bring to the table in the NFL for their position.

What BS...

Of course he’s a top 5 WR….Lets see, last year he had one less TD than Fitz, in 4 less games….in the 12 games he played he had over 1000 yards….he tied for 3rd in scores with and had more yardage than Randy Moss did in 16 games…he was 15th in yardage in only 12 games…and was 10th in rushing for WRs…I’d say top 4 might not be too much of a stretch…

Boldin and Fitz swap each year

Boldin will out perform Fiitz this year just as he did in 08. The both are great players and compete with each other. They have also very different styles. They are the number 1 receiver pair in the nfl and are in the top 10 WRs in the league.

CAN’T WAIT TILL GAME ONE AGAINST 49ERS.
