Late NightLink: Drug Tests and Anquan Boldin

 

This NightLink has two parts and have nothing to do with the other.

Anquan Boldin: Not Happening

We're not getting Boldin. Get used to that fact now. We have little to offer the Cardinals, plus, Jerry got his one big trade out of the way.

So, how can this trade end up in our favor?

He gets traded to someone who has a need at WR. Sounds logical enough, right? Well, if a team who needs a WR gets Boldin, there is always the possibility that a decent WR would slip to where we draft in the 2nd. Not saying we'll be able to pick up Kenny Britt, but one can hope.

26 Players failed drug test at NFL Combine

This isn't as exciting as the last report (which falsely accused specific players), but interesting nonetheless. A total of 26 players failed the test for either drugs or banned substances.

Your assignment is to guess who failed, and I'll give you one freebie: Percy Harvin.

Hey, that's not fair to assume that Percy...

Ah, whatever.

I’d also guess Sanchez and Moreno. Don’t know why.

Assume?

You do realize that Harvin tested positive, right?

Was it weed?

I thought they were saying performance enhancing drugs.

I was gonna be a first round pick, before I got high…

Was gonna make so much coin that it’s sick, but then I got high…

Now I’m an undrafted free agent, and I know why…

Hey, hey, because I got high, because I got high, because I got high…

Think About It

Why don’t you trade him for Desmond Clark?? Lets face it: Desmond has declined but is still a good tight end. He could help out the Cardinals and Anquan Boldin could help out us.

On another subject GeoMak

you made a plausible argument (repeatedly) that the Bears would only benefit by having BOTH Hester and Boldin on the field together. That got me thinking and I want to throw out a hypothetical. What if the Bears hadn’t traded for Cutler (BTW I support the move, just sayin’) but gave up this years first and 3rd for Boldin. With Orton under center, with Boldin and Hester as targets, would the Bears be a better (or as good) a team as they are right now with Cutler under center, and only an unproven receiving corps?

by Just Dave on Apr 16, 2009 8:39 PM CDT reply actions  

Just out of curiosity,

considering this is a NightLink about Boldin and players who failed drug tests at the combine…

and considering Geo hasn’t posted on this thread….

Why?

Yes. Exactly

Nope.

Cutler will be our QB for longer than Boldin and Hester can be elite receivers. Plus, Hester’s best attribute is the deep threat – that disappears with NeckBeard.

by bdalebs on Apr 16, 2009 8:42 PM CDT up reply actions  

Look let's just kill it now

We all know that if the bears traded hester for Boldin, everybody, INCLUDING Geo would be dancing in the streets.

An addendum

This isn’t counting on them bringing in any free agents or hitting the lottery in the draft. As a team RIGHT NOW, would they be better off. Plus we’d get to keep next year’s first rounder.

Sorry I don't know how to start a new and

independent thread I’m just curious as to other Bears fan’s opinions on this and it sounded interesting. I hope I haven’t committed a blogging faux pas.

Lol...

No faux pas sir… just off topic for the thread. No worries though. Keep in mind, if you ever have a good idea for a FanPost, make it happen :)

Or FanShot, if it's short.

That would require people to actually read the FanShots though.

by bdalebs on Apr 17, 2009 5:11 PM CDT up reply actions  

I think the FanShots might be picking up some speed here lately...

Good point though.

laughable
In the interst of accuracy (and to ease the minds of Bear fans who worry about Devin Hester as a WR) I simply called a friend of mine who actually played in the NFL, alongside one of the greatest WR’s ever\ (Michael Irivn) and maybe the greatest cover corner ever (Deion Sanders)..

so two of the best ever at a position prove why devin hester, nowhere near the best at either positon, played where he did in college? You know the best way to see hester’s hands? Watch him. I haven’t read much that says hester has number 1 wr…anything, other than speed. and i sure as hell haven’t seen it. there are corners out there who would be wr receivers if they had better hands, you can’t be so arrogant to think that common statement among announcers and analysts is 100% false.

hester may have been the most talented (although i 100% agree with the other players wanting contact statement i can’t imagine hester thinks contact with his body type is a good idea) but i would bet him playing corner was more based on his idolization of Sanders and later on by his mental ability to grasp an offense. hester had one receiving td at miami, people i know who follow miami football also mention that miami attempted to get him more involved on the offense as well.
