I agree that Boldin should help, but you can only be helped, IF YOU WANT TO BE HELPED. Obviously having Randy Moss last year, Vernon Davis last year, and Boldin so far this year did nothing to help Jenkins.
You can only go as far as you WANT TO GO.
When I was in Basic training, before you get to your place you are going to be, you are in processing, and ill never forget what a drill sergeant said. His named was Drill Sergeant Hooks. "if you came into the army a shit bag, you will leave the army a shit bag."
And that sticks with me. Now, can Baldwin change? Absolutely, he could. But, I doubt it. Im not sure why going to a team where he isn't handed a starting job is going to motivate him more than being on a team where all he had to be mas marginal, and he was going to start because of his draft status, and the lack of talent at the position.
Now he has to go to a team where if all things were equal and everyone was healthy, he wouldn't make that team period.
He wouldn't beat out Crabs, Boldin, Manningham, Kyle Williams, and on top of those four, he is now competing with Austin Collie, Chad Hall, and Marlon Moore. He offers no special teams value.
They are only going to carry 5 receivers. The only one that offers special team help is Kyle Williams. So they will get their other guys from the running back spots, and from the cb/safety spots.
Baldwin is going to have to just show out, and I don't think he has it in him.
