Good to see him leave in classy fashion.
We all knew you played your heart out here. Can't think of any Cards player that I enjoyed rooting for.

I'm quite sure the guy is hurt because of how much he did for the franchise & how much he gave of his body. Repeatedly he was told he was a "core player" & told how much he was needed in AZ. I wouldn't blame Q for feeling betrayed & hurt one single bit.
That doesnt seem to be one bit of the article..

It doesn't sound like he feels betrayed, but rather understanding that sometimes change is necessary (for him and the organization). He has been a "core" player since he was a rookie, but that's changed too and our "core" players are going to continue to change year in and year out. I was actually a little surprised that he said leaving was "bittersweet" after dishing the organization so hard and saying he would never sign another contract with the Cards.
I'll miss him as much as any fan and wish him the best. I would have loved to see him keep playing for the Cards, but he got exactly what he's been asking for - a big, fat contract with another team. Good luck Q.
Nice read. Q went out with class.

Going to miss Q. All heart and all class. My all time favorite Cardinal and it's not even close.
I bet Boldin actually wants to do the old Toyota jump. Why wouldn't he? He's going into a great situation. He's got way too much class though to leave here with a big crap eating grin on his face though. He knows he is taking a piece of many of us with him. No hard feelings here though. That guy fulfilled his destiny here. He was the spark of hope in 2003 when things were at their worst. He left it on the field time and time again and was a critical part into the transformation of this team into a consistent winner. His record is completely clean on my books. All the best to Anquan. I'm proud to say I was there when he got his start.
I Heart Anquan Boldin.

He has quite a few million guaranteed reasons to smile.

It definitely sucks to see him go, I wish nothing but the best in Baltimore. Baltimore is one of my favorite teams in the AFC and I feel like his playing style really fits that teams attitude well, so I will be pulling for him. Thanks for the memories Q.

Damn it damn it damn it all to hell! I am a selfish bastard that wishes he would have been kept! But man I will enjoy the memories and while I have cant ever cheer for the Ravens I will sure hope he has a great future and make his mark even more pronounced on the game.

If he has such "emotions" then why did he become such a distraction? He signed the darn contract and then wanted to alter it before it was fulfilled. He played hard and I enjoyed that aspect but go back and look at him starting an argument during the NFC Championship game as we were trying to take the lead with time was running out. It's not a bad thing but Boldin was out for Boldin.

I had been anticipating him being traded for so long but it's kind of hard to digest. When the dude was healthy he was great to watch, he was the first excellent player in the time I started to watch the cards. Good luck Q.
at least I have an AFC team to root for now, even tho flacco unibrow bothers me

He should have been a Cardinal for life. 
Best wishes Q!
