Perhaps it's not to early for a small portion of crow for a few people who have stated here that "Manuel was'nt that bad" or the "he was recovering from an injury and playing in a new city" or the classic "Manuel will play much better this season". Sure, it's only the first week of camp, but it's still the same problems from last season and these are problems that can't be fixed. This guy is done, cut him and move on. Delaying it only takes time away from the young guys. Thomspon need's to send the message now that continuing poor play will not be tolerated.
Come now. Fess up. Was'nt someone "debating" the Manuel topic with me just a few short days ago??????????????
Thumbs down
It's been the same old, same old for Marquand Manuel.
Manuel, who was responsible for several blown coverages last season, was at it again.
He bit badly on an Aaron Rodgers pump fake, which allowed receiver Ruvell Martin to blow by Manuel for what was an easy deep completion. He also gave up a touchdown catch to tight end Donald Lee in the next team period.
On Saturday, receiver Robert Ferguson blew by Manuel during a team period and would have had an easy touchdown had he not lost the ball in the sun.
The plays were classic Manuel, who has been nothing short of a disappointment since General Manager Ted Thompson gave him $2 million in guaranteed bonus money last year as part of a five-year, $10 million free-agent contract.
Manuel isn't bad when the play is right in front of him, but he doesn't move well enough in space to be an effective cover man.
