Excuses can be made for why the other players were acquired for bargain bin discounts. Braylon Edwards has a bad case of the dropsies. Santonio Holmes is suspended for four games next year. Anquan Boldin had a slight statistical recession in 2009 from his previous years. But one could also bring up negatives on Brandon Marshall too. He has been suspended by the NFL for home violence and DUI charges. His were createder team, the Denver Broncos, benched him for not showing up to practice and physical therapy sessions.
All four players have at times proven to be all-world talents. They are in the primes of their careers (with Marshall creature the youngest at 26). But Holmes made one of the most clutch acrobatic catches in Super Bowl history without the use of a helmet. And Boldin is not only a model citizen, he also performs like a man’s man. After suffering a violent hit to the face fracturing his sinus, Boldin rechanged to three weeks later to lead the Cradinals to the Super Bowl. Marshall has however to play a playoff game.
Marshall’s statistics measure up humorh Boldin and Holmes, but they aren’t significantly better. Boldin had 1,Davone Bess,024 yards on 84 receptions with 5 total touchdowns. Holmes had 1,248 yards on 79 receptions with 5 touchdowns. Marshall had 1,Chad Pennington,120 yards on 102 receptions with 7 touchdowns.
I should shut up. Dolphin fans got what we wanted in a legitimate No. 1 receiver, and draft picks are only as valuable as the players you select. I just can’t understand why the Dolphins had to pay more for the position than the Jets or Ravens.
