Being on the field doesnt always mean you are the better player and you know this. If you are not on the field as much you wont be able to get open, and if your're not on the field you cant make a play. This isnt going anywhere lol. In every point you make, you leave out important information.Originally Posted by Morehead State
you say manningham produced more, but you leave out the fact he has had a lot more opportunities than hixon.
Please tell me ur not bringing up what mario's doing this yr in SF with a QB who passes very little compared to the giants and Hixon?? Thats pretty much the one thing most everyone managed to keep outta the debate because it means so very little... Obviously its a completely diffrent offense..
Also, no ones debating weather or not we should of let mario go, with Nicks and Cruz pending FA'cy looming sooner then later, but the debate has gotten to a "mario better then hixon or hixon better then mario" debate more then anything..
If Hixon were in SF, he'd not even be playing.. He'd be sitting behind Randy Moss, Michael Crabtree, and Kyle Williams.. Shoot, they woulden't of had much interest in signing hixon, most likely...
+1 ^
the pen is said to be mightier than the sword.....
but when is the last time your sword ran out of ink ?
So what did Hixon do with his oppurtunity in 08? Sure, it looked like he was gonna be a stud for us and hellp really shoulder the load, but once defenses caught wind of him, the big games abruptly stopped.. Hes only scored 4tds in his entire career and had like 2 100yrd games..lol Sure, hes not had the opp's like Mario, but mario blew past em on the depth chart, and would be ahead of him now if he were here... And the funny thing is, Hixon and Mario arrived at about the same time, and yet mario still blew by em...
bottom line here ....I just trust Hixon more......he doesn't make the mistake Mario made
and spare me the ....why was Mario on the field over Hixon?
I could add....why has Wilson not seen the field?
why does Brown get no touches after being very productive?
why does Diehl start when he is clearly less productive than his replacement ?
...and I'm out
keep it clean fellas, no rabbit punches, and no blows below the belt
hixon is faster, catches the ball with his hands better, runs better routes.
However he has had less opportunities than mario so of course mario will have better stats. Pretty much everything you mentioned on that list has to do with mario having more opportunities.
Its funny that your list is about production and doesnt look something like this.
its not speed
its not catching
its not route running
You get the point.
There is no point in replying any longer because you still continue to leave out important information. For example, you say its not catches, But its pretty evident that hixon has better hands. manningham made some key catches in some key situations, yes. But he always catches the ball with his body, bobbles it a lot, and often drops easy passes.
Demarius thomas is a better receiver than manningham but manningham has had more overall production than him because he has had more opportunities. Sometimes you cant always look at stats.

ELI MANNING 2012 stats- 364Pass attempts 2641yrd
ALEX SMITH 2012 stats- 216Pass attempts 1730yrd
U were saying??lol Comparing the 2012 numbers are stupid.. Its like comparing the New York Yankees HR total to the Kansas City Royals..lol
haha im out too.
I don't buy the "he didn't grasp the offense" rap either. thats more MB legend than anything else. I know its anecdotal but the pick at SF last year where MM broke one way and Eli threw the other was blamed on MM Aikman, but MM broke to the open spot and Eli threw it into triple coverage inside. These sight adjustments are about seeing the field and reacting. They aren't about being able to solve math problems.but his intelligence regularly affected his production on the field
he could have been twice the player if he didn't make so many technical mistakes
his athletic ability is off the charts but unfortunately football is....well to quote John Madden..."99% of the game is half mental"......whatever that means
I think if Mario did grasp the game and the Giants offense a bit more we may have never seen the emergence of Victor Cruz
I respect everything good that Mario did for this team......but it does not erase the memory of all the mistakes he made that don't show up on the TV broadcast
But the point is that MM for whatever his faults and strengths were, was simply a far more productive and impactful player than Hixon ever was. He was a vital part of our offense and a key to our success. And played a vital role in our SB championship last year.
Hixon has never fulfilled that role with us. At least not on offense.

Demariyous Thomas is in his 2nd yr...LOL Demariyous Thomas is in his first yr with a QB who actually throws the ball in his entire career, including College, as he was in a Option attack college at G.Tech.. He went from that to Tim Tebow..lol Now hes got Peyton manning, and hes one of the best WR's in all of football..lol Bad example... Hixons always had ELI, and Mario blew past em on the depth chart, and made big catches in the postseason, and our offense never struggled like it is now when nicks got hurt and was playing gimpy when we had mario to shoulder more of the load..
The 2worst stretches of offense i've seen from this team in awhile was toward end of 08 and now, both times when Dom Hixon was a decent part of the offense..
