It's not as much about the yards as it is the receptions he averaged. If he had the reception average of the other teams, the yards would have followed. Although this is true, it really doesn't come into play as much as we think it does. During the same period that Boldin was here, Joe averaged 520 attempts with 312 completions. Of course Boldin wasn't in on every passing play, but he was for the majority of them. It makes you wonder why he wasn't targeted more, considering Joe looked his way often. I feel it is because he just wasn't open in many of those situations.
