Why does everyone say 'roids when someone gets huge? I can complain because I was way skinny kid graduating HS in. Spent my whole seven Naval carreer not too much bigger. Got into the gym a couple years after getting out and after two years of lifting just exploded. Went from 6'0" 145 to 215 in about two and a half years. Never took anything but aminos. Then the 'roid talk started. It's just a shame that hard work doesn't pay off in most people's eyes. When people would ask if I did do them, I always answered "No. Because I like my nuts too much." and walk away. So, not all size is influenced. I'm not saying that some do or don't do it, but give people the benefit of the doubt.

Oh, and a little confirmation on the size puts strains on the knees, ankles, and feet. I torn my Achillies tendon playing flag football. I tore it just taking a step out of the huddle. Yes. I believe that the injury was due to my upper body size. At the time I weighed 225. Going from 145 to 225 within six years puts wear and tear on a body. So we will see how this new mass helps or hurts Mr. Boston. But you'd think he would understand that just about every WR is lean and fast. That's how to be successful.

It was a joke. :D

I think a good many of them (football players) have, or do use roids. I knew a bunch of guys when I was in high school that played football here that used roids, and quite a few moved on to the next level.

I think that Boston's obsession with getting bigger definitely factored into the decision not to franchise him. Added weight is not a good thing for someone so fast, and it could definitely make him injury prone. It become a distraction that seriously affects his career.

I wanna see Boston do that year in and year out before I can say he has arrived. Chambers from the Dolphins show good promise but he stunk it up his second year. Boston showed us one year, one year doesn't make him a superstar caliber. I don't care if God throws the ball to him as long as he can produce 1000 yards receiving for the next 5 years like Harrison is, then I can say he has arrived.

You are totally right, 2 out of his four years he was more than productive. He was dynamic, strong, a force to be reckoned with.

But his attitude sucks. And there are some serious issues with Boston and his character.

Swweeetttt.

I didn't know that they still had that pic out there! I wonder if I get royalties from that?

But seriously, I think that some may and some may not. You just don't know.

Poke him with a needle and I can guarantee juice would squirt out. :D

One of my buddies my Freshman year was a serious weight lifter and both his sponsor and his nutrionists told him he would have to juice to compete professionally.

Boston may have the same issues...his flexibility has to have decreased based on the size of those suckers...also...the bigger his upperbody gets..the more stress he puts on his knees, legs, ankles, feet, etc..more chance for injury...

at some point for a receiver or running back...enough is enough!

Completely agree I was saying last year Boston will have a much longer career at 225 than at 248. He's got knee issues already he needs to back off the weights.

Do you watch the Cardinals? Do you have selctive amnesia in order to support your arguments. Boston had one season of 1157 yards and then followed it up with a 1600 yard season and then was on pace for another 1000 yard season, even though he was playing innured the enitre season (a knee that had begun giving him problems in training camp).

I have moved on from Boston - do I think it's another colossal blunder on the Cards part not being able to hold on talent (or making talent like that believe in the program so "character" issues don't come up, ala Simeon Rice). Yes I do. What bothers me is continual arguments made by people here that either completely disregard the facts because they do not support what they say, or make ridiculous comments about guys (Boldin) that most likely most of the people on this board only saw play a handful of times (at best - especially considering how bad FSU was this year and their lack of TV exposure) but champion as the greatest thing since sliced bread just because they are the Cardinals and a couple nice things have been said about him by outside pundits. Yet it's funny that these same pundits who baslted us for the Pace pick are clueless, or they "hate" the Cardinals (guys - no one hates the Cards - to hate people would have to at some level care about us)

How much do you want to make a bet, that if the Bengals or someother team similar to us had drafted Pace as high as we did, that we would be crucifying them? I am just bothered by a lack of consistency of arguments on this board.

Cheesy....FSU wasn't terrible this year (by most standards), and many of their games were televised....I watched most of their games, and Anquan Boldin was one of my favorite players in college football last year (along with teammate Greg Jones).

Barring injuries, Boldin will be a good pro.

I'm not bothered. In fact, I like it.







Anquan Boldin could kick David Boston's ass.

I don't know Section 11. I heard that Boston added more muscle to his ass as well. It almost is like he is growing an extra pair of legs out of there.

psst....
(whispering)
...I think most people are just having some cheap fun with Boldin...




Other than that, I agree with Krang. I'm a college ball junkie and try and keep close tabs on FSU and Miami. Florida I just have no respect for 62-24. Should have been worse.
What's not to get excited about with Boldin? You throw it, he catches it. Over the middle, through the woods... dude doesn't care. He's sticky in a Marvin Harrison type way.

You sound a little grumpy today.

Just haven't been outwardly negative in here for a while and I'm bored. We still have another five weeks before camp even begins, huh?

You can't tell what he's actually writing, or who it's for.

The paper he is holding might actually say: "Note to self - buy more roids." :D

Note to self: "Be very very nice to Anquan Bolding this preseason. I hear he goes about 7'8" and like an alligator, can fully digest a turtle shell."

The Big bang would kill DB in a fight, Anquan was Muhammad Ali's sparring partner.....that is, until he kept knocking Ali out.

No. The fact that you believe Boston had ONE productive season with us still leads me to believe you have selective amnesia.
