Allstarjim Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 So Manningham didn't pass his concussion test and is now doubtful. One thing though, what if Manningham Christmas Tree'ed the baseline test? Then we're screwed! If we're counting on Manningham passing a test we might have to come to terms with the fact he's going to be out for awhile. Can we get him a tutor? Can we get a Michigan booster to do the test for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sephiroth Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I like Manningham... I don't know why he gets so much shit from fans.. I guess because he's not a superstar. It's because he consistently runs the wrong routes, fails to get two feet in bounds on the sidelines, and scored a 6 on the Wonderlic test. A SIX.

Gman329 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I thought it was an 8. But 8 or 6, it explains why it took him a few seasons to understand the Offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treehugger Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I'm surprised he doesn't cop more shit than he does, especially for his butterfingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGBLUE01 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I'm surprised he doesn't cop more shit than he does, especially for his butterfingers. I yelled at him (thru the TV of course ) when he fumbled that one pass from Eli down the sidelines against the Rams. If he didnt bobble that ball it was taken to the house.

Unless you have an actual learning disability that's not true at all. Like everything in life hard work and discipline will get you everywhere.

Like everything in life hard work and discipline will get you everywhere. He's a Giant and I'm understandably protective of him.. and how knows it may very well be a learning disability. I happened to think he's a solid WR.. butter fingers or not.. he hasn't had that many drops... and he's the best we have right now after Nicks.

JackStroud Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 You guys are harsh Manningham is a very exciting receiver.......has explosive speed.....takes some attention away from Nicks I wonder how he got the bell ringer...........I didnt see it.......was it when he fell down after the catch and hit it on the turf? Did Boley hit him in the head with a ball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allstarjim Posted September 24, 2011 Author Share Posted September 24, 2011 Wow you guys. So serious. I highly doubt Mario is reading SW. I like Mario, a lot. He's turned into a very good receiver for us and I'm disappointed he probably won't play this weekend. But I'm just joking a little on his perceived lack of smarts, that's all. I don't really think he's Moe from the Three Stooges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I think the biggest problem with Super Mario isnt his "lack of intellegence" so to speak, plus I think he runs good routes. The biggest problem is he is always dropping passes or bobbling them, I dont see why he has such a hard time always being so open but always seeming to drop the ball. Gotta get him some of that Stick'em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackStroud Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 it would help immensely if Eli would drop the ball in correctly..........he either throws it behind him 90% of the time or launches it way over his head 10% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMFP Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Pretty sure the play he got the concussion on would have went for a TD if he didn't bobble the ball. Could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boohyah Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Considering we got him in the 3rd round, we didn't do too bad. He's made some good plays over the years. Most offenses might tweak to work with his strengths, but it's clear we don't. He does have a problem with routes, but a lot of time he's open and just needs to be found.

JackStroud Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 How do some of you guys know what routes Manningham is running wrong???..........do you have closed caption routes on your TV? LOL Give me a break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Give me a break There have been times when he and Manning are clearly not on the same page; Manning throws towards the sideline while Manningham runs a post route. The direction he's supposed to run is dictated by where the safety is positioned. It's pretty easy to see from Manning's reaction who he thinks was wrong.

JackStroud Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 The only problem with that is Eli's throw could come down in a 20 yd radius of where he was aiming He's is terrible on the long throws needs to hit the gym also a defender can deny you a route by blocking it with his body I am sick of the Manning apologists............he's a very very average QB........enough of this Eli ass kissing he must be held accountable also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osi724dasack Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 because never being more than a #3 caliber receiver is not what we paid for Let's be fair, he put up really good numbers last year and finished strong. He had what 900 yards and 9 Tds? If he has an off year I'll take it so we can afford To sign him long term and upgrade the WR corps at the same time.
