[deep9er]

been hoping for a slot receiver whether free agency or draft, Eddie Royal could fill that role. does Manningham run those shorter type routes? can he be effective in shorter range, ie getting open quickly?

don't think he ran those routes in NY, but i'll ask first?

I'll update the first post.

No Manningham please. I want Eddie Royal.

No Manningham please. I want Eddie Royal.

from my limited perspective, agree Eddie Royal is the next guy to add. then you have an outside guy in Moss, and an inside guy in Royal. Davis, Crabtree, etc. will fill in the gaps. don't have to force Royal but like the fact he's visiting.

granted, Moss is only signed for 1 year so they MIGHT be looking at Manningham (or other WR) long term? if they get a good player in this scenario, fine.

Please no Manningham as the long term WR. Draft two instead.

Didn't we just let go of a Manningham type WR in Morgan? I would see this acquisition as a lateral move with the only advantage being monetary if we can get Manningham for less than ~6m.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

60 rec 944 yards 15.7avg 9 TDs two season ago. I'll take that. MM is no chopped liver.

I love the people saying no MM, give me a break, he is the one guy that beat the 49ers and furthermore he was fighting for balls against Nicks and Cruz. Manningham is better then Crabtree

 

[maniax]

Why are the Giants letting him walk then?

1 word: expendable.

Perhaps he is capable to rise to the next level - I think he is better than Lobsterbush in traffic - so maybe he just needs more opportunities to put up monster stats.

I wish we had Nicks and Cruz so we wouldn't have to pay coin to our 3rd WR.

I'll take the level he already rose to when he got more play.

I agree im all for Manningham. As long as they dont spend really big to get him. Technically Manningham has the right to become our 1st WR and just might be our 1st WR with the unknown that is Moss and how old he is.

In your opinion do you think MM is above or at the same level as Crabtree?

 

[Ray_Dogg]

I think they are two completely different styles of players. So that is tough to compare. I view Crabtree as a slow, powerful, possession type player. MM has field speed and can go deep over the top and get in the endzone.

Worse.

So you would envision Moss & Manningham outside the #'s and Crabtree as our #3 in the slot?

 

[Bemular]

Worse.

You're not a fan Maniax? What don't you like about him?
