Boldin & Haley

[MastersofCombat]

Look Q deserves alot of credit for us getting here, I will not be one to bash him til he is in another jersey.... wow you guys seriously get off him..

This has to be the fact that Haley has made Fitz number 1 on all of Warners looks and Boldin who is a hell of WR isnt getting much tossed his way.. You know he loves being on a Super bowl team

 

[dogpoo32]

i can be excited for the superbowl and talk about other things relating to the team, if this conversation gets you down then dont come into the thread?

I dont have to know what Q or Haley said. I can look at the facts that I do know and put together a pretty good chunk of the puzzle.

Calling him a loser? 7 Steel plates. Reconnected jaw. 40+ screws. Cracked hip. Muscle separated from the bone. You owe the man. We all owe the MAN. The FACTS? what facts do you mean? The facts that are important are listed above. OH! and 11 TD's in 12 games.

 

[ajcardfan]

Rob Moore said it was no big deal after the game. He said Q should understand that when he's been hurt, the coaches don't know exactly what they can get from him.

Not a big deal. Fans were throwing Fitzgerald under the bus after the Tampa game last year, and with the contract this year. Or, better yet, remember how he wouldn't play hard for Whis because Green was fired? Now, those fans look stupid. People ripping on Boldin right now are going to look just as dumb. IMHO.

unfortunately none of that has to do with the topic. and if you want to play that game I can say cardinals 5-0 w/o Q.................................oops.

 

[CaliCards]

As long as Q is healthy and fired up, I got no problem with that.

Goooooo CARDS!

CARDS: 34

STEELERS: 21

 

[azdad1978]

I'm one of his biggest supporter in this board, if he's mad fine be mad take it out on the Steelers

No one on here even knows why he was upset. There's no reason to think he's going to be mad for the next few weeks. Kurt comes off the field pissed off every time we don't score and he's always yelling. It's no big deal.

Do you blame Haley for that? Look at the results. The #1 WR should get the bulk of the looks. Boldin needs to deal with that.

By the way Boldin was mad because Breaston was in the package not because the play was for Pope. Sommers already wrote about it.

But in the end who cares, They are professionals who go through far more and bigger disctractions in a game then some little arguement on the sidelines. They will talk about without the media like men and it will be squashed.

We dont owe him anything just like he doesnt owe us anything.

I dont hate Q at all. Im dissapointed in the way hes acted this season, and now its kind of resurfaced again because of this.

 

[CtCardinals78]

I am disappointed it happened but will reserve judgment. Every member of this organization got us where we as fans always wanted to be. There will be plenty of time to digest this in three weeks in the offsesason AFTER we play in the SUPER BOWL. Deep down we know how this will most likely play out but for the next two weeks let's have happy thoughts and enjoy where we are. I will not let this dampen my enjoyment of today victory.

Two fiery competitors who want to win. Listen Anquan is an emotional guy who wants the ball in his hands with the game on the line. As a Cardinal fan I love his competitive fire. He will be a lot closer to 100% in two weeks than he was today, and he still contributed today.

Projecting anything beyond an emotional outburst in the heat of battle is a mistake IMO. The reality is Arizona versus Pittsburgh on February 1, 2009 for all the marbles. The Cardinals will need Anquan IMO. And Anquan will get to play in the biggest football game of his career in his home area.

 

[joeshmo]

Arguements happen on the sideline all the time. Not a big deal if it isnt a habit. What I dont like is that he left lickity split and didnt enjoy the moment with the rest of the guys. But then again if you are still upset it is sometimes best for everyone if you just leave and cool off as to not make things worse to let cooler heads prevail for the big picture.

I think I owe something to all these guys. I owe them a fair chance. I don't know what happened, and I'm not jumping to conclusion. I owe them for making this the best season of date and for giving me so many reasons to drink over the years. I owe them for the broken knuckles, the tears, the hours spent staring into the mirror contemplating the meaning of life and wondering if I was trapped in God's sick joke. I owe them for the chance to tell Dallas fans they can suck it. I owe them for letting me drag them through the mud after horrible losses and praise them after glorious victory. I owe them for that one streak a year that I feel on top of the world. I owe them for some of the highest highs and the lowest lows. Above all else, I owe them for changing the culture of the franchise. I owe them for today.

 

[Zeno]

As long as Boldin brings his A game against the Steelers all can and will be forgiven I am sure.

Already a CBS Sportsline column titles "Anquan Boldin is a Jackass"...ouch Hopefully it was an isolated, heat of the moment type thing and not something thats been boiling under the surface for awhile.

 

[D-Dogg]

Still don't know what happened...but Q will be very important in winning a Super Bowl.

I have NO doubt about that. Wait until the offseason to bash him, please.

 

[silencer1515]

dissapointing indeed

 

[Gambit]

Absolutely. Players WANT this. Kurt has been in Haley's face numerous times. Q gets in there and people lose their minds. He's a competitor. He wants the ball, and putting Pope in there is a slight to a man of his greatness. Would be more worried if he was fine sitting o the bench. Do you want competitors or complacent D-bags?

I want team players who do their job. If their job is to catch, catch. If their job is to block, block. If the coaches think another player is more suited at a given moment, get on the sideline and root for him.

Look at Fitz, once Hightower barreled in for the score, he was ecstatic. Because the Cardinals scored. He wasn't the most important part of the play, but he was part of the play that helped win the game. that's something Q could learn from.

 

[AZOffaly]

I saw the row on the TV coverage, and they were really getting into it, but two lads who want to win badly, with the game looking like it was turning away from them, will always have rows and tension.

To me, it looked as if Boldin was saying to put him in, but Haley was probably thinking that Boldin wasn't going all guns yesterday, so Haley was correct.

Storm in a teacup hopefully, it'll all sort itself out, and Boldin could well have a big say in the Superbowl if the Steelers concentrate on Fitz, and if his hamstring gets another 2 weeks of rest/preparation.

Boldin might be going in the off-season, but I doubt it will be anything to do with this tiff.

 

[Catfish]

Warner did it AFTER his offensive series was complete. Q was distracting Haley WHILE he was trying to make calls during an offensive series. Not the time to interruupt the guy with the game plan in his head. It also appeared that after someone pulled Q away, he came back for more. Big time wrong in my opinion.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

The last I will even comment on this situation.

It is a damn shame that Boldin lost his cool. Getting into it with your OC on the biggest drive of the season is bad enough, but that is forgivable.

Leaving your teammates high and dry when celebrating the biggest win the team has had since becoming the Arizona Cardinals ?

I don't know about that. The game was over, and they won. It should be water under the bridge and it is time to celebrate with your teammates. Boldin had done enough throughout the years, and this season to be a part of that celebration, even if he didn't see the playing time he wanted.

But if you think about it, karma is, and always will be without mercy. Going ALL the way back to the begining of the season, Boldin has been all about getting what he thinks he deserves, and getting respect. As much as I think the man deserved his payday, as much as I think he deserves respect, and as much as I like him for the player he is (or maybe he was at this point) it is quite a coincendence how this has all played out.

I hope for Q, that he realizes he just wasted a chance he may never have again to bask in glory that you cannot buy with money, and that will last longer than any person acheivement. Of course we all do not know the full story, but when it comes to this big and rare of a achievement I cannot see any way that some disagreement or disrespect was worth throwing away time to celebrate something he and his team had fought so hard for.

And that is all I am going to say about that.


Cause we are going to the SUPERBOWL!!!!!!
