You're right that if Anquan really wanted to be a Cardinal, he probably shouldn't have hired Drew Rosenhaus. He hired him right on the heels of the Portis trade, and that sends a message.
I wouldn't go quite so far as to say that Anquan was "mediocre" last season after he came back. He had 623 yards in 10 games. Project that over 16 games and he would nearly have had 1000 yards. Project his receptions over 16 games, and he would have had as many grabs as Marvin Harrison.
Put another way: in 10 games Anquan was only 157 yards short of what Fitz put up in 16. The TDs are different, but the offense was designed to get Fitz the ball in the end zone.
Also, I think we should all be able to admit now that Josh McCown couldn't compare to Jeff Blake as a passer. Blake was able to get the ball to Boldin in stride and put him in a position to run after the catch. McCown laid EVERYBODY out, and that limited Boldin's production more than anyone else's.
I hear what you're saying, and I think that it may be necessary to trade Anquan, but I think you're understating how good he was last season.
