Manuel can't tackle and gave up 2 and a half TD's.
Some of you wanted the career backup and 6th round draft pick instead of Roman the first Safety selected in his draft and career starter.
Yes and Roman had a cheaper contract.
Care to explain this?
Career backup?
6th round pick?
Are those the same person or two?
Roman is not a career starter. Well, not on a team with talent at the safety position.
Okay Zero, but a serious fan would know a few of these facts:
Manuel, the 181st pick of the 2002 draft, was the 19th Safety selected(Marques Anderson was 9th).
Roman was the 34th pick of the 2000 draft and the first Safety selected.
Roman was the starter for the Bengals when Sherman signed him.
Manuel was down the Bengal depth chart and got cut and was picked up by the Seahawks in 04. As a backup there his tackles came from special teams. He got some playing time last year when a starter got hurt.
In the last three years Manuel has been on 3 teams, has 3 passes defensed, no INT's and 82 mostly special teams tackles.
Roman in the last 3 years started 47 of 48 games, was in on 237 tackles and 3 INT's. Third on the Packers in tackles in 05.
Manuel is unproven as a starter after 4 years in the league and has never earned a starting job in training camp.
Roman is on his way to being the starter for the 49'ers.
Name a good play Manuel has made for the Packers.
