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

    • Can't count on FHSAA to do what's right or makes sense so we have to look elsewhere.  I'm still learning about SSAA and I still have questions concerning their bylaws. It's a growing league and I think it will soon surpass FHSAA in membership. 
    • Agree. Everything could be avoided if they did what i said. Consolidate classes down to 4, and force teams who have a set number of transfers participate in an open division. Come up with a number. 5 transfers per year. Whatever number seems right. That way the all star transfer factories can duke it out for one title, and the other 4 playoff brackets will at least be a respectable.    If they create the open division with 7-8 classes next year, every bracket is gonna be beyond embarrassing and make Florida the mockery of the country. You will have glorified 2nd round losers being called state champions 
    • I hope it grows too. To about 500 members! Some of the SSAA teams were or would be playoff teams in FHSAA.  You are correct, they have zero chance of winning a championship in FHSAA.  Some are figured that out. About 400 or so need to come to the same conclusion. 
    • Most Manatee die hards, consider the 1993 title game against Southridge, a nightmare game where anything that could go wrong did in fact do that. I want to say Southridge had 2 kickoff returns for TDs, 1 Punt return for a TD, at least 1 (possibly 2 INTs returned for a TD), I believe there was also a hail Mary at half for a TD. The 1984 19-14 playoff loss to Lakeland, probably burns in die hards guts than the 1993 contest. Manatee was a heavy favorite going into that game, but 2 turnovers inside the Lakeland 10 proved ultimately to be Manatees undoing and denied Manatee any chance at back to back titles
    • I think they are small schools.    Marathon - about 700 (grades 6-12) Coral Shores - under 800 Key West - about 1,300
