RG3 worth it? Yes.

Manningham? Sure, let’s get him.

Here's my thoughts up until we hear any official QB news...

I’m thinking there are two options in how to know before April where we go in regards to QB.

1. If FA becomes about picking up good WRs and O-line players then its possibly a sign that they choose to stack our offense in knowing that RG3 will cost us this year and next years picks.

2. We pursue Manning, Flynn, or Orton in FA as a stop gap. Trade down in the draft for Tannehill and use later round draft picks to fill our WR core and O-line.

Not gonna take a stance really on which I would prefer, but I feel in my brain that this is where the most likely options are headed. Am I crazy? Other ideas/possibilities? Im interested in what you guys think.

I have mixed feelings

About Manningham. I live in NY, so I end up watching a lot of giants’ games. When he is on, he is very good, but he is one of these guys who often disappears during the course of a game.
