We were pretty excited last year with the thoughts of Crabs, Edwards & Morgan. And we were all let down.

I for one was not looking to just upgrade over the season productivity, but also upgrade our excitment level over last off season.

Crabs, Manningham & Moss == Crabs, Edwards & Morgan in terms of looking forward. We could be as equally let down this time next year with this group

i get your points.i just am thinking(and hopefully right) that there is no way in gods green earth we can not have a edwards2 situation on our hands with one of those guys.i also understand that the stench of every free agent wide out we ever signed under former coaches were disasters and its hard to forget that stuff.My daughter did raise the red flags on edwards and she was right due to his history and we all know what moss has done before but i hope we can do with him what the pats did with him. If i am wrong oh well, it will not the first time i have went out on the ledge but i do not want to be wrong cuz that would be bad for the team

I get it. Randy's age bothers me ALOT tho. I think he will be 36 by Sept! Anyway, WR's =>35 not named Rice are non factors to me.

Also unfortunately for me, no rookie WR is going to excite me, because rookie WR's not named Randy Moss are non factors to me.

I hope I am wrong too but I can't fake excitement, and only Wallace can bring me that at this point

There will be at least one rookie WR plus Coby Fleener at TE, so they'll be quite a bit better off.

We still don't have a WR like him. Apparently he hasn't signed his contract yet and can still walk away and sign with another team. No Manning= No Manningham

I'm sure thats it, because it wasn't like he agreed to terms prior to Manning being linked to the 49ers or anything.

you don't think that Manning came up in the conversation they had when they brought him in?

If you recall at the time the 49ers did not have a starting QB. As a WR I'm sure he asked "who is going to be throwing me the ball"

We'll revisit this exchange in a week and see who overreacted based off speculation.

who is overreacting? I'm simply stating facts! He hasn't signed his contract yet so as for now he is not currently a 49er.

You stated that Manningham wasn't going to sign his contract because Manning signed with the Broncos.

This is a falsity rooted in speculation. Not fact.

This is quite interesting. Moss should do good this year. I have no doubt Moss still has the physical talent to excel, my only concern is what is between his ears. I am hopeful the passion to play in the NFL, set more records and win a Superbowl will satisfy his needs.

well diva wide outs usually do well when you give them a one year deal plus i think he does respect our coach so i am hoping those intangibles will mean alot

I thought your insanity was constant.

I kid, I kid.

OK, here we go:

* For starters, let's begin with the end. Manningham concluded the call by saying, "Thanks for interviewing me."

* Manningham's signing was reported Saturday, but he didn't officially sign his contract until today. Why the delay? Manningham was vague, but indicated some of the details of the deal were being worked out.

"Just details and talking and things," he said.

* Manningham said the possibility of playing with Peyton Manning didn't factor into his decision to sign with the Niners.

"It didn't," he said. "I wanted to go there and I knew that Peyton Manning was going to go somewhere. I thought he was coming to the 49ers, but he didn't. He went to Denver. But good luck to him with that. I wish the best for him. We've got Alex Smith and I know he's a great player. He played good last year."

* Manningham said San Francisco's defense was a factor in his decision. Manningham faced the Niners twice last year as a member of the Giants.

"They swarm," he said. "And they hit you. They cover you. I feel like they've got the best linebacking corps in the league."

What a condescending prick! I can definitely sense that this guy is a sarcastic cat.

Too busy with the Manning watch and hoping he could pad his fantasy stats knowing that he's gonna go up against a washed up Moss and an overrated Crabtree.

Liar! That's along the lines of Alex saying he would have relished competing against Peyton for the starting QB job here.

He's a p***y and doesn't wanna get hit by Patrick Willis.
