Do you swing a trade for Braylon Edwards or Anquan Boldin?

i don't think it's close, it's clearly Q. dude presents both sides of the argument decently though

  1. you know this is easy for me....boldin.

    boldin once paid will play to the death or the hospital bed by week 4 if you are hater like ace....but i can live with a guy getting injured as long as he is playing hard....there is a reason why people don't rag on bynum like they do oden when it comes to egtting hurt...subconsciously ppl look at the work the giant gary coleman has put in to get good in 2 years and the playfulness that comes with oden and ppl like the effort of bynum...both never play really but the feeling is bynum cares more...i think this transfers over to Q...he may get hurt but it aint because he aint trying. the only thing that helps braylon is that he is younger...i don't know if braylon becomes a peerless price next year after getting paid...i am not sure "drops" are not in his head and he develops nick anderson or chuck knoblauch's disease (for you super not baseball fans see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Knoblauch#Throwing_troubles). this is a no brainer...actually this is like asking who would you rather have bynum or oden...but not even because at least oden went #1

  2. 1. I'm biased as a Lake show fan.
    2. Q's warrior mentality could be part of the reason he gets hurt all the time, and possibly shorten his greatness period (see Eddie George). It's not a reason to not trade for him, but I would NOT give a 29 year old Boldin a 5 year contract.
    3. Braylon has the Nick Anderson disease, you can't drop the ball as frequently as he did last year and not get that in your head.

  3. This is a great question, I like Trey love the way Q plays ball. I will never question his estrogen level. But I also realize Braylon Edwards could be a serious #1.

    I make the decision based on who my QB is. If I have a strong-willed QB that will keep the attention of a sometimes lax WR I will take Edwards. However if I have a soft-spoken make everybody happy QB I take Boldin.
