49ers sign Mario Manningham | Page 3

Nice pick up. Remember, we're gonna add at least one, maybe two more WRs in the draft. Manningham can be a solid #3 for us. It'll be interesting to see how this team looks in 3 WR sets with Moss, Crabs, and Manningham at WR and VD at TE. I just hope we have Manning to throw the ball for us.

I could see us easily drafting Fleener in this scenario, unless of course if Floyd or Wright fall to us at #30. This will give us some big targets for Manning to throw to right away.

We still have our 1st round pick.

Hill, Fleener, Jenkins, Konz, ... + Manningham > Wallace

The idea of signing Manning and drafting Fleener gives me a chubby!

Even without Manning I like the moves the 49ers are making.

He's a HORRIBLE route runner. One of my best friends is an old-school die-hard Giants fan and this guy probably contributed more to raising his blood pressure than anyone else on that team. That is one of the things that concerns me about him, he's got a reputation of running the wrong route, or quitting on routes early after the ball is already in the air, leading to easy pickoffs by the defense such as what happened against the 49ers this year. He's tough, he's physical, he's a willing run-blocker but by all accounts he's isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.

Early on in FA he was looking for a big money deal, to be paid like a #1 receiver, reality is a b***h though as he realized that he was overrating himself considerably, if he plays as a #3 guy for the 49ers, then its a good deal, anything more...........

I hope we didn't overpay. His stats from 2011.

39 catches for 523 yards and 4TD's. I would have rather had Lloyd.

Manningham has had zero ducks though...
