Check these facts out. 
 

Boldin has 13,779 career yards good for 14th all time. That’s more yards than 31 other hall of fame receivers. 
 

1076 career receptions is 9th all time, more than 35 hall of fame receivers

 

he has 82 career touchdowns better than 27 hall of fame receivers 

68 yards per game is better than 27 hall of famers

 

And his first 6 years he had to play with a top 3 receiver of all time (Larry Fitzgerald)

An unbelievable talent.  I remember watching HS highlights every week and he was certainly the focus, although our running back Willie Green got good airtime during that era as well.  The announcer would always lead the TV program off by saying, "And on the 7th Day God Created Anquan Boldin" before going into the weekly highlights.  Pahokee has to have a special place for him.

I remember watching the Sugar Bowl vs Georgia in 2002 when Boldin had to come in and play quarterback because the backup Fabian Walker went down. Walker threw a pick 6 in the game before Boldin came in. 
 

Boldin threw a 40 or 50 yard touchdown pass to Craphonso Thorpe too. 
 

They came up short 26-13 but when you take your best receiver and stick him at QB, you now lose your best offensive weapon, as well as having your most important position ran by a player who didn’t take snaps in practice at all leading up to the game.

This is his first year of eligibility (probably won’t get in this year). I think he had a HOF career. I think Fred Taylor is on the ballot again as well

Just about to make his case. He’s got just as good of one as Boldin does

Nolebull, save me the time doing the research, if you don't mind.   Are you saying that Boldin is a HOF'er or should be a HOF'er?   I think the latter.   If so, is coming up on his first year of eligibility? 

I think he should be in the hall of fame no question. Maybe not first ballot depending on the other names, but he’s gotta eventually get in. There is no justification to having Andre Reed and Art Monk in and not Boldin

im not saying they aren’t considering Boldin, I’m just trying to make the case he deserves it

Nolebull, quick question for you:  in making the argument for any player, is it appropriate to compare them to guys who already are in the HOF or with that player's contemporaries?   Or both?   I suspect over the coming years, there will be several QB's and WR's that will have better statistical numbers than the bottom 30% of existing HOF'ers who played the same positions.   The game has changed.  Just curious what your thoughts are on that argument.

Yeah I get what you are saying. Guys like Matt Ryan and Philip Rivers have crazy numbers because of their longevity. 
 

Philip Rivers is 5th all time in passing. He’s gotta be in. But the game changed so much he was never an elite QB at any time imo. He was good to above average. But you can’t deny his stats. It’s hard to justify not putting in a guy who is top 5 in the history of the game

    • I do not. I've heard DLS sought a major out of state opponent for the early season. And I know the new staff at Lakeland is much more willing to play such games than Castle was. I've heard ESPN has been involved, though I heard that last year in regards to the Central game as well, and it never was televised. That the two played a classic game on ESPN 16 years ago might have helped pique interest. 
    • Yeah Booker T. does have a new coach and replacing someone like Ice is going to be hard. Do you know who reached out to who as far as the matchup with De La Salle and Lakeland.
    • Hey everyone!  Doing things a little differently this year with the NFL Draft in coverage... this year we are LIVE STREAMING during all-three days of the NFL Draft with live coverage with analysis from a high school football perspective as well as Florida perspective with all three of Florida's NFL Teams. Here are the live stream links! NIGHT 1 - 1st Round   NIGHT 2 - 2nd & 3rd Rounds   DAY 3 - 4th, 5th, 6th & 7th Rounds    
    • Lakeland will be heavily favored against both Lake Mary and BTW. This is mostly because both of those teams will be down from 2024. LM lost most everyone except for QB Grubbs, and doesn't figure to be able/willing to recruit/reload at quite the rate of most powers. BTW may be really, really bad. Casual fans may not know who their highly regarded head coach is, or where he is coaching now. But, let's just say his departure to an in-town competitor likely will bode poorly for their roster in 2025 (this is to say nothing of what the new staff may eventually be able to do.) The three toughest games prior to playoffs- by far and away- for Lakeland will be DLS, The First Academy and the major showdown in Orlando in August.
    • I see three scenarios here 1. 3-0 beat all three 2. 2-1 one lost to Booker T. Washington  3. 0-3 loose all three Are we getting the Lakeland that beat Miami Central 16-8 or the beat down from St. Thomas Aquinas 34-0
