Do you forgot this is also a business? Yes Boldin was due 6million and for some reason the FO thought that Torrey could be a #1 which was a huge mistake. Then they wanted to rely on Pitta who got hurt, then Rice was also hurt. Also, Getting rid of Boldin meant we were able to bring in Doom, which as much as I hated getting rid of Q I loved bringing in another pass rusher opposite of Suggs, really helped our defense. The problem is that we didn't address moving Q, The problem was we didn't 'value' any of the WRs in the upcoming draft enough, which I think was a mistake (obviously) considering Keenen Allen, Markus Wheaton, Kenny Stills was available. Then there was Justin Hunter, Aaron 'Dropson", Terrence Willams. Its a catch 22. I prefer to build the defense but after handing Joe the contract the FO did, didn't make much sense to trade away his number one target. No doubt Boldin was a beast, but during the regular season he was pretty average.
Maybe you should look at the film more closely. If Joe didn't loft the pass in Denver the safety would of easily picked it off, we were lucky that he miss judged it, by about a foot. Im not sure what you are watching, but the throw he made to Jacoby was perfect. Yea, he could of thrown it further but then you have to realize, humans have physical limits. He is scrambling out of the pocket and throws it on the run, lands right in his chest. Should of made him reach for it, since he is known so well for his good hands. Some how only our fans will complain about a 70+ yard last second TD to send a game into OT to beat one of the best offenses the NFL has ever seen and go onto to win the SB. But yea....that pass was a little high, Just like my Ferrari is too fast
