Percy Harvin or Anquan Boldin?

Boldin was covered by the #1 corner, at least in the AFC championship game vs NE. CB Aquib Talib (NE's #1 corner) was covering him, but early in the game Talib got hurt. I don't know who covered him after that, but it didn't matter cuz NE had no other CBs worth a poo.

Boldin is a gamer, goes up and gets the ball like Dennis Rodman getting a rebound in the 90s.

I understand the Ravens had another year of Boldin under contract, but the Flacco signing put them over the cap. So isntead of just dropping Boldin and him getting picked up by an AFC rival (patriots, steelers, broncos, etc) they traded him to the NFC. GREAT pickup for the 9ers in my opinion, and puts the 9ers as the favorites in the NFC.

Harvin was a great pickup by the Seahawks, but they spent a lot more and while he has a higher ceiling than Boldin, I believe Harvin also has a lower floor. More risk.

I'm just happy both stayed out of NE!!!!! The last thing Brady needs is a good wideout like he had in 2007 w/Randy Moss, phew!

Yeah, NE didn't have anywhere near enough on defense, and were a bit banged up on offense -And it only got worse during the game.

I wouldn't have minded seeing Boldin in a Pats uniform. I think he's a very solid player.

But 7 million for a guy who will be 33 next year seems a bit steep. I'm glad he got it, and maybe a bit happier he got it from SF.

I like Harvin too, he can be great, but a bit inconsistent.
If he stays in one piece he'll do well.
