Is Anquan Boldin turning into Terrel Owens??

Brotherwo · Jan 19, 2009

Boldin arguing with the offensive coordinator on the Cardinals game winning drive seemed very T.O.-esqe.

hno:

Is this a coincidence or is Drew Rosenhaus turning his clients into selfish cry babies?

Heres an article on Boldins behaviour yesterday

No, Boldin doesn't drop enough balls.

Boldin is possibly the 2nd best wr in football behind Fitzgerald. For all I care, he can do whatever he wants if he keeps producing and playing thru these injuries. Never seen a tougher receiver ever

I have all respect for the player he is when the ball is snapped to the whistle. Without a doubt he's in the top 5 in the league.

However I dont think any player should argue with coaching staff while a game is going on (to mention the NFC championship game)

I was disgusted at the scene of him arguing witrh the coach when it was obvious that the coach was concentrating on the game and was distracted by Boldin.

I am surprised that none of the media used lip reading to state what the words said were. The coach had his mouth facing the camera and it would be easy for a lip reader to state what he was saying.

Have any of you guys ever played sports?
Been on a team? Coached a team? It happens get over it! Doesn't make Boldin a bad guy or the coach, its a high aggression game. I knew as soon as a saw it the Owens comparisons would come flying out, its such BS!!! Any team would love to have T.O!

I wouldn't want to be on any team you coach or played on.

Yeah this type of stuff goes on, but if you really think there's not a detrimental aspect to what TO does then you are lost.

boldin isnt the 2nd best.

FearTheRaven · Jan 19, 2009

couldn't believe he was arguing with the OC like that. It looked like punches were about to be thrown.

How good is Fitzgerald though? That guy is amazing.

The thing is... you talk trash to the coach if he brings it to your door--or else you bitch for like 2 seconds to let him know whats up. You don't fucking go at him like Boldin did and then stare him down like he's Carmen Luvana. Boldin was out of line and if I was the coach--I'd piss him off more for those antics during a game like this.

Fitzy was godlike in the game, take your beef up with him. This isn't "bad news bears" the movie.

Drew Rosenhaus will go down in history as the highest-paid babysitter ever.

Rosenhaus is a big part of the problem.

Snookslayer · Jan 19, 2009

What exactly was Boldin complaining about? Simply not get enough throws his way?

Objection · Jan 19, 2009

the issue isn't even really arguing with a coach it's being a me first ass and not even celebrating with your team going to the superbowl

While most of the other Cardinals were still on the field being showered in confetti and picking up their NFC Championship trophy, Boldin had already bolted out of the locker room

He tried to ruin the Super Bowl celebration with his childishness.

In the game, Boldin got into a heated argument with offensive coordinator Todd Haley. After the game, instead of celebrating with his team, Boldin abruptly left the field, then abruptly left the locker room.

It was awful behavior.

[...] I have to say in nearly 20 years of doing this, I've never seen a player more concerned about his arguing with a coach over making a Super Bowl

1 outburst in a game isnt enough to put him up there with TO. but if he keeps acting like he is heading in that direction.

Wasn't Warner going off on the same guy earlier in the game?

G$$ · Jan 19, 2009

yea warner sure was. but boldin not celebrating the victory? whats wrong with that. maybe he is focusing on the super bowl.... besides who knows what was said during the argument

just because a guy doesnt celebrate a win doesnt mean he has a bad attitude? (unless its the super bowl)
