Bolden seems to have better receiving skills.
Its make or break for Bolden. I like him, but he has to step up or be gone.
It's hard for me to try and project anything with Bolden. There are pluses and minuses just like any player, and our overall RB situation and future plans may coincide with seeing him tendered as an RFA next spring just the same.
He improved on his pass catching ability last season with 21 grabs, and has shown them a solid 2 year ypc average of almost 5.0 yds per carry. On top of that he just turned 24 in January, so he's very young for having 2 years in our system. He also contributes on special teams as well.
Sometimes I get the feeling that he's a quality depth guy who can start if needed, and that we couldn't do all that much better by signing/keeping anyone else. Other times I agree with you that he's a couple of bad plays away from being cut. I'd agree with you that a solid camp could go a long way for Bolden though, so that's probably the main point.
