I have said yes to a straight Boldin for Cribbs trade in the past, and still a gree with it. But not because Cribbs is a good WR or anything. But thats more of me feeling I think he is that big of a game changer on special teams and may be the best thing we can get for Boldin in a trade market.
Make no mistake though Cribbs wouldnt even be in the top 3 WR's on this team. Fitz, Breaston, and Doucet are all way better recievers then Cribbs is at this point in time. Cribbs was their best weapon on O by far and he still only caught the ball 20 times. Was only targeted 31 times. Dropped 3 balls which is huge for only being targeted 31 times. His average was only 7 yards per reception because they rarely let him run routes longer then a WR screen pass. Granted he didnt have the most stable QB conditions in the NFL, but still, his WR skill has been about as productive as Sean Morey. Heck he might not even be in the top 4 of our WR core next year.
But what he does bring is -
1. Occasional WR screen.
2. Slightly more then the occasional reverse, wildcat or run play (averaged 7 yards a carry)
3. But mostly he brings the most influential return man in the NFL.
