Our Receivers

TO is no longer an elite WR. A solid one, maybe, but afraid of contact and selfish. This was Manningham’s first year as a starter and Hakeem Nicks was a true rookie. They’ll only get better.

Further, Eli was 8th in TD’s and 10th in yards. 28 is plenty of touchdowns.

And Nicks, as a rookie, had a 16.8 Avg, good for 7th in the league. Sure, more than half of that was YAC, but that means he still stretched the field.

Oh, and 107 catches for 1220 yards is low 2nd tier? Really? A lot of talent is required to break the 100 catch threshold.

You need to get your facts straight.

sometimes i go on rants too but this one is a bit far fetched even for my standards.

Nicks is very good and on the come up. smith is a pro bowl WR (I like typing that), and MM although makes us wanna pull our hair out has made HUGE strides in 1 year…if he can continue to grow than he could be that guy to stretch the field.

don’t forget about Barden who i think could be a terrific possession WR for us (if TC and KG ever figure out how to get him on the field).

Hagan and Hixon are solid backup/special teams players. I like them both.

I like our WRs w/ exception to someone who remarkably is still on our roster taking up space….who’s name i won’t even bother to mention.

Lack of down field threat all the receviers are down field threats and smith a low number 2 what??? Have you even watch any giants games this post is dumb

“And with Santonio and Brandon going so cheap (per say)”

I’m assuming you are referring to draft compensation, but Marshall just signed a 4 year 47.5M extension. That’s hardly cheap.

Our receiving core is young and hungry and could IMO potentially develop into one of the top units in the league.

T.O. has nothing left, and even if he did I wouldn’t want him.

Our current offense with these receivers that “shouldn’t be starters” managed to score a lot more points than the Broncos, Steelers and Jets. That is with a QB with 1 healthy foot and 2 crippled OLineman. They also scored more points than teams with “down the field guys” like the Texans(supposed beast Andre Johnson) and Cardinals (Larry who?)

Also it’s funny that you make fun of Manningham’s hands then say we get TO??? who is notorious for dropping balls.

For your sake…

(per se)

Smith, at 24 years of age, is already a Pro Bowler. Nicks (22) had a really nice rookie season. Manningham (23) has his issues but the talent is there. And then you sort of have a wild card in Ramses Barden (24). I mean… They’re not the Eagles receivers, haha, but what’s not to like?

we should lobby to have this post removed.

No offence King – but if you posted this sort of post last year before Nicks and Ham played well you would have had some support to get a WR – after all last year was all about B Edwards and A Boldin.

This year no one is even suggesting a WR in the 7th round unless they are a return specalist and will replace Hixon.

but this did it.

ummmmmm… well…. ummmmm.
Hmmmmm.

our receivers suck soooo bad. we need to trade smith and nicks right away for a 2nd round pick and just cut manningham cuz hes terrible

FOR SURE!!! I think he is very very close to being the best WR in the league.
