Memories of Boldin

Mods, can there just be a sticky for this crap?
3 that leap to mind:
1) I think 2004 or 2005, it was in SDS and against the Panthers. Boldin lined up in the backfield, McCown fired to him in the flat, and Boldin was just sick from here on. He juked and ran over about 5-6 Panthers on his way to scoring the TD. One of the best runs-after-catch I've ever seen and 100% Boldin at his best.
2) 2008, 2nd or 3rd play of the game against Miami here at home. Sparano decides to cover Boldin with a linebacker with no safety help overtop. See-ya, 80 yard TD. Boldin was running down the field alone.
3) I think his rookie year against the Rams at home at SDS. He caught a pass at about the 45 yard line or so IIRC, was hit several times and left a semi-circle of Rams defenders on the grass on his way to the endzone for the TD.

The 2008 NFC Title Game when all Arizona screaming with joy after they had won, we later see Boldin pouting in his, "Bentley" talking on the telephone with this bored, glib look on his face. That day was my most memorable, because we all knew Boldin would never retire a Cardinal. certainly, a sad memory, but it stands above all others.

The worst for me was him walking out with his agent while the rest of the team was celebrating. I never saw him the same after that day.

Totally agree with both of you. I said goodbye to Boldin as a Cardinal that day.

RHODES...
time to move on. One day hopefully Boldin will come back to have his name put in the ring of honor, but for now, he's just a player on a team that's competing against us for the Lombardi trophy. I'm not going to get misty eyed or hope he still remembers the good times until his career is over and he's done playing for an opponent.

My favorite memory of him was his very first game, went off on the Seahags, brought hope to an otherwise awful franchise, many thanks Q!

Hoist the Lombardi Trophy
Listen Q was a very good player & one of the all time favorites to wear the red uni, but he's gone. I can see the threads pop up every week starting in August about him:
1) "Damn he looks strange in black & purple"
2) "did you see Quan run over 3 Steelers"
3) "damn he looks strange in a Ravens jersey"
4) "I'm glad he's not here cause Leinart would have got him hurt"
5) "I wonder how many games Quan will miss with his ankle injury"
6) "he just doesn't look right in a Ravens jersey"
7) "I knew we shouldn't have traded him, he won that game for them"
8) "Breaston isn't Q"
9) "Boldin will miss 3 games with a hammy injury"
10) "We should have gotten a better pick for Quan"
and on and on and on!!! Watch!!!
He's in Baltimore & isn't wearing red again, good luck & thanks for the memories. The Az Cardinals & its fans must move on because we have unfinished business as in winning a Super Bowl.
He is gone and I have moved on.

Making a Comeback
The Falcons TD was great against Lawyer Milloy, but I feel that play really led to the end of him in Arizona. That was the play where he hurt his hamstring and caused him to stay out the next few games.
I was in a New York bar watching the Panther game in 2005, there were a lot of games going on at the same time, and (as might be expected) I was the only person watching the Cardinal game, when Boldin made that catch and shook off 5 defenders to the endzone. His best play in my opinion.
It was the Lions in Ford Field.

Charles Rogers had a great game too, what drastically different careers they've had.

yeah, that Panthers game someone mentioned earlier, he was as beastly as a beast could be.
I for one won't miss him because the beastly WR that he was early in his career pretty much vanished as injuries took his toll but I'll give him credit for being a huge part of this team.
My thoughts as to who's the new Q on this team? Without a doubt it's Beanie who guys bounce off or his stiff-arms to the ground. Now we'll just have to see if the injury bug bites him sooner rather than later.

Yes He is GONE, But not yet forgotten. I still have my BOLDIN Bobble Head Doll.
So let us all take a deep breath and realize that he will not be back, and "GET OVER IT...!!!"
