Did Bolden ever have a chance to play a down while at LSU? If so, how did he do?
Well, I wish Rob Bolden the best with the Lions, but I don't think he has much of a chance making the team. Stranger things have happened though, and I truly do hope he makes it. He was thrown into a tough situation at Penn State, but he seemed to crack under the pressure. Maybe he has his act together now.
Bolden's a good athlete, just not a QB. Maybe the Lions will try him at some other position.
Did not get into a single game while at LSU.
I hope Rob does well in life so please don't take this the wrong way, but he must have a FANTASTIC agent.
$195 a day for 3 months isn't going to go very far
The Lions signed as a FA because they have a play in their book that, although not often called, works when properly executed. It requires a QB with the ability to throw directly at and get a perfect deflection off a defender's helmet for a reception. It's almost impossible to defend.
The "amazing" thing to me is that as a Freshman his spring practice was so impressive the talking heads, especially on the Big 10 network, could not say enough about him. Saying PSU has a great one in house.
We really miffed or a bunch of 4 star QBs in a short time frame. Bolden, Newsome, Jones. What are the odds that all of them were not QBs, not in the least.

It was quite an interesting run of "luck" at the position.
In Newsome, you had a guy who wasn't as interested in football as other life pursuits. He had an odd throwing motion and wasn't very accurate, but was a decent athlete.
Then, you had Jones, who despite a rocket arm and good touch, wasn't committed in the classroom or the film room/white board. So, OB moved him to H-back and then he transferred to Robert Morris.
With Bolden, he started out very strong, then got hurt. IMO, his dad was a big part of the kid's decline (or lack of development). RoBo thought he was better than he was.
wasn't just the talking heads. Every one on this board was all jacked up about Bolden and when he looked really good his first few games were even more jacked up about him, people coming up with the RoBo nickname and all. People turned on him pretty quickly and maybe not fairly. And he was right to be POed about not playing the bowl game where Moxie McPicSix put up such great numbers.The "amazing" thing to me is that as a Freshman his spring practice was so impressive the talking heads, especially on the Big 10 network, could not say enough about him.

Moxie McPick Six has started in the NFL. A feat Rob Bolden has no chance at doing. All you had to do was watch Bolden play and he was a deer in the headlights. He had no pocket presence or sense.wasn't just the talking heads.

Good for him. Fine athlete.
Yeah, Bolden showed a few positives when he was QB here, but athleticism was never one of them. He always seemed much more comfortable in the pocket. "Great athlete" is certainly not the description that comes to mind.Can someone please tell me why Rob Bolden is considered a "fine" or "good" athlete?
That team is really reaching...he never proved a thing in college...
