I hope he goes to SF.  The typical NFL career is too short to choose a team that isn't winning when you can play for one that is not only winning, but coached by a fellow alum of your alma mater.

We've been resigned to the fact that he'd be gone since the season ended. He's our #3 but he'll get #1 WR money on the open market. He was a great luxury to have while we had him.

WR could potentially be a position of strength now for the 49ers. Or it could still struggle. If Randy Moss can be a solid #1 receiver - doesn't have to be his former self, just something similar - then Manningham could thrive. I don't think Mario can be a #1 guy in the NFL though so he would greatly benefit from a quality Moss.

It just goes to show that the power running game will not work without the threat of a passing game hence the accusation of Moss and now the vetting of Manningham! The 49ers are making some serious moves.

he wants to go and catch passes from alex smith. that's about good for 1 accurate pass and catch per game, id say

suddenly he'll be missing all the production he got in new york.
