I don't want a slow, old receiver .. Although he produces a bit but that's because San Fran has no one else to throw it to..
Because despite being old and slow, Boldin still uses his body among the best in the NFL, still has good hands, still runs good routes, and still fights for the ball.
Marvin Jones puts up 65/816/4 in 16 games with a QB having an MVP-caliber season for 3/4ths of it and AJ Green pulling double coverage, and people want to pay him $7m/yr.
Anquan Boldin puts up 69/789/4 in 14 games with Kaepernick and Gabbert at QB and nobody really helping him, and people say he's old and washed up.
Boldin has over 3,000 yards in his last 3 seasons. Nobody is claiming him to be the long term answer, and nobody wants him to be a #1, but he could be a really nice #2 for one, maybe two years as the drafted WR the Bengals need to take this year gets eased into his role, as WRs often need to in their rookie year.
You're saying the exact same things people said about Steve Smith in Carolina before he came to Baltimore. I don't think there was a single player who did well on the 2015 49ers. They were pretty much the 2010 Bengals, where almost everyone sucked.
