NewbieJr 540 Posted January 11, 2009 Best active WR in the NFL. With Boldin being inactive, I agree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giants Fan 85 Posted January 11, 2009 With Boldin being inactive, I agree. What about Steve Smith? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
t.j 35 Posted January 11, 2009 What about Steve Smith? Smith and Fitz would be the perfect complimentary WR duo IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giants Fan 85 Posted January 11, 2009 Smith and Fitz would be the perfect complimentary WR duo IMO. In Carolina's offense yeah ... Imagine replacing Mouhamad with Fitz there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stonewall 647 Posted January 11, 2009 I believe that he (Fitzy) will be the first WR off the board in most drafts next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giants Fan 85 Posted January 11, 2009 I honestly had Boldin rated HIGHER before this year. You've seen what he can do. He's got wheels, and Fitz has amazing hands. Clearly the best #1, and #2 WR's in the league .... and all of a sudden, they have a defense. That's what has won 2 playoff games ..... the defense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e-factor 13 Posted January 11, 2009 Unless he ends up with the Niners (wishful thinking), I hope Boldin stays in Arizona. Watching him and Fitz on the same offense is something special............. It would be fun from a FF standpoint to have both of them on your team with Warner as your QB.............. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I predict that Warner retires after this playoff run and hands the keys to this caddy over to Leinart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boldin is a beast but Fitz's skills are just unmatched. It's way more than just his hands. 11 guys (the defense) are always going to be more important than 1 guy (the WR), but even so, Larry's impact has been huge in the two playoff wins.

Fitz has all the physical skills that T.O. does .... and he's also a SOLID team player and a good guy, as well as just a sick, sick dedicated athlete. That combination makes him the best WR in the NFL. But if you want a run after the catch WR ... like Eli has been trying to find with Hixon .... Boldin can THROW TOO! .... he's TRICKY! Warning: N word rap He's the kind of guy you can throw a 10 yard pass to, on a 3rd and 15. Fitz ..... he doesn't have the same RAC threat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Busted by the Feds 9 Posted January 12, 2009 I think the coronation of Andre Johnson as the #1 fantasy WR for 2009 is a bit premature. With the game Fitz had yesterday, without Boldin, in the playoffs ? Yeah, all the other owners can fight over Andre Johnson. I'll wait to see if Fitz is available later on.

Dan 59 Posted January 12, 2009 I'll still take Andre Johnson . . . I wouldn't complain with either, but my preference is for the dynamite in Houston. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerryskids 5,215 Posted January 12, 2009 Larry Bird was that pretty good white basketball player back when I was young, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Gladstone 33 Posted January 12, 2009 Fitz AJ Steve Smith Boldin Roddy White Marshall That's how I see it. And Fitz may be a fantastic WR, but there is only one man who can ever be called Larry Legend. Maybe if Fitz did what he does with a "big goofy whiteboy" set of skills he could use the nickname.

jgcrawfish 232 Posted January 12, 2009 I hate the name larry legend, mostly cause the celtics suckass regardless of whether they're winning. I will also lay claim to believing this BEFORE this season, in my mind, there are 3 WR that are head and shoulders more talented than all the rest: Fitz, Andre Johnson and Calvin Johnson Randy Moss and TO used to fit into that category, but TO no longer is dominant and Randy, IMO, is dependent on an elite QB for his #'s. He had a decent year this year, but it's clear that Cassel can't him the ball downfield like Brady. However, Fitz, AJ and Calvin could, again IMO, be put on ANY team and still be dominant WR because their physical skills are that good and they are that sure handed.

Jarvis Basnight 119 Posted January 12, 2009 FitzAJ Steve Smith Boldin Roddy White Marshall That's how I see it. And Fitz may be a fantastic WR, but there is only one man who can ever be called Larry Legend. Fitz AJ Calvin Roddy Boldin Undecided on which of those top 3 is #1 yet but this is a good 5 for me with B Marshall on the outside looking in depending on where Boldin ends up. Currently, I'm not feeling so great about Steve Smith in 2009. Who's his QB going to be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jarvis Basnight 119 Posted January 12, 2009 I will also lay claim to believing this BEFORE this season, in my mind, there are 3 WR that are head and shoulders more talented than all the rest: Fitz, Andre Johnson and Calvin Johnson Agreed. These are my top 3. I'm not sure what order I'd put them in for 2009 but these are my guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeff Garcia 8 Posted January 13, 2009 Fuck Larry Bird. Fitz is the man. You must have been too young to have watched Larry Bird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
t.j 35 Posted January 13, 2009 You must have been too young to have watched Larry Bird. Incorrect. Just don't like the Celtics. And Fitz is my 2nd-favorite player in the NFL, so I like him a lot better than Birdface. This thread is not about basketball though. It's about the greatness of one Larry Fitzgerald. People are right, though, he does need his own nickname. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
