Who is your #1 WR?

[MiamiFan80]

assuming Fitzgerald is healthy, who is considered the Cardinals #1 WR? Is it Boldin Or Fitzgerald? Not that it matters because they're both great, but who is considered #1 on the depth chart and who is considered the better WR?

Thanks in advance.

Boldin would be #1 in my opinion. He's not the most physically gifted, but it's like he wants the ball more than anyone else on the field and he'll just fight with all that he has to get the ball. Pure desire!!! I love it.

Boldin. Larry Fitzgerald is a (very) dangerous receiver but if you're playing the Cards the last person on the offense that you want to have the ball in his hands is Anquan Boldin. The only reason that I specified offense is that if a D player has the ball, you're screwed.

 

[D-Dogg]

Boldin is the man, and always will be.

We actually SHOULD put up a statue of Boldin...he can carve it himself out of granite using only his bare hands. When he's done, the statue will be able to play on the other side of the line and challenge him for the title of "best WR, ever."

 

[Shane]

Boldin. He is the #1 guy IMO. We have the luxury of having another WR who can be considered a #1. But Boldin matched Fitz catch for catch last year and he missed 2 full games and was held without a catch in another. That in itself is amazing that he still caught over 100 balls.

Throw in there that he has that gift of making something happen after the catch that Fitz just doesnt have. Amazingly it just seems that the more we give Boldin the ball the more good things happen!

Boldin. Fitz is a good big play guy and red zone target but there is nothing he can do that Boldin can't really...Boldin is great after the catch, he fights and fights for more yards pushing everyone out of the way. He's also a very good blocker, which Fitz isn't. I think Fitz will surpass him eventually but right now the #1 guy is Boldin.

They are both #1..... I can back this up by looking at last year stats where they were both identical

Boldin is a little more likely to break a few tackles and get the extra yards but they are both #1 in my mind

Boldin was hurt two games last year Fitz wasnt. Also throw in the fact that Q was actually blanked in another game. He is easily the #1 and odds are would have had about 12 more catches than Fitz last year had he stayed healthy.

Isn't great to even have this argument?

We have 2 legitimate #1's and Fitz is only 23 yrs old and Boldin's only 26. Both have set records--Fitz as the youngest receiver in NFL history to record 100 receptions and Boldin set NFL rookie records for Most Pass Receptions (101); Most Receiving Yards, First NFL Game (217).

They have a long NFL life ahead of them.

 

[Kel Varnsen]

Boldin, IMO.

It certainly is nice to be able to discuss this. BUt the only reason Fitz would ever pass Boldin would be because he is 23 and has 3 years of Youth on Boldin.

 

[ajcardfan]

Boldin can make more plays by running after the catch. But, Fitz can make more freakishly great catches up in the air and along the sideline because of his height and hands.

They are both number ones. Seriously. Neither is a number two. But, Boldin is more of a team leader.

Bryant Johnson.


Just kidding, gotta be Anquan but it's close, Fitz is damn good in his own right.

 

[abomb]

Boldin, easily. Fitz is still one of the top 5-6 WRs in the league though.

All we need is a decent Qb...

Fitz is going to blow past all of Anquan's career numbers when all is said and done. I doubt Boldin makes it past his early 30s with all the hits he takes.

 

[vinnymac]

boldin been number one with me from his first game againist detriot. boldin is the one that started to get talent to come to arizona. it will continue through the years he is here with arizona. i feel he is worth more than his contract is paying him. i wouldn't be surprise boldin doesn't get another deal by the end of next season.

 

[azdad1978]

Anquan no doubt about it.

Fitz/Boldin = Swann/Stallworth

And Leinart's going to be better than Bradshaw - man, this offense is going to be RIDICULOUS once DG is fired and someone is brought in here to make the O-line just mediocre!

Dansby and Dockett and Eric and Aaron and Rolle and Watson with the "old man" Wilson leading them on Defense.

I'd better quit these ARE still the Cardinals.

About the only thing Fitz has on Boldin is Height. Its certainly not Hands. Boldin has made freakish catches as well since being here. But none the less they are #1 Boldin and #1A Fitz

you just can't let me optimistic for a second, can you Duckjake?!
