[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 512593"] In 2008, Boldin reached 500 receptions faster than any player in NFL history. In 2009, he was the 5th. fasted to 7,000 yds. This from a guy who ran 4.7 at the Combine while posting other pedestrian numbers. At 6', 215 lbs., Boldin has always been one tough SOB, not an ESPN-highlight-reel-circus-catch guy. His career is that of an overachieving possession receiver, dirty words in the fantasy football era. In 2010, 2011 and 2012, Baltimore threw the ball 491, 544 and 560 times, respectively, or 33 times per game over that span. That's hardly a high flying offense as they leaned on Rice for a balanced attack. Speaking of Rice, they were in the habit of using him as a go-to guy in the possession passing game. Given last year's playoffs as evidence, those 3 regular seasons should perhaps be chalked up to underutilization, not underachievement. I'd say 2011 was Boldin's only off year, based on catches per target.
