    Get better on Offense he has all Training Camp and Preseason to do it.Last year with the lockout and new offense hurt him but he has to at least show us something on offense or even Special teams.If he fails to show us something anywhere else besides Punt returns I would cut him.

    Well in that case, I doubt anyone else would be an improvement in free agency.

    Blount couldn't make the 53rd roster spot....

    A lot more people in the league and draft can catch punts than you think. And most of them are better return men than Mariani.

    uh... yeah! Especially KR! It means you were the best in the conference... potentially the best in the league!

    What is your basis for better? You don't care about average per return and we already acknowledged that touchdowns are pretty much the same for everybody...so how did you judge who is better?

    He just does not like him because he is a consistent reliable white KR.

    And he then makes ridiculous claims about how so many others are better based purely on irrational emotions.

    lol, I don't like him because he's not good! He's a living symbol of the conservative/mediocre tradition this team has been plagued with.

    He's not fast, elusive, versatile and his vision is suspect. His accolades are a product of excellent special teams blocking. Tommie Campbell would run circles around Mariani on a kick return.

    He's just a sure handed wasted roster spot. If he could contribute on offense it'd be different, but its a dime a dozen for straight line running possesion return men like Mariani.

    You don't like him cause he's not flashy. He sticks his foot in the ground and accelerates, and doesn't juke or break many tackles. That's why you under rate Mariani.

    I can't stress how important it is to know you're definitely getting the ball back. With Ryan Mouton and others you don't even know if the punt will be yours after the catch is made. Mariani gives you peace of mind and does get yards. But I can't blame you for wanting better. I like him so I'm willing to wait 1 more season before being with you and wanting better. I don't really like the idea of career kick returners, especially when the league is working on phasing that play out.

    As long as Mouton isn't back there single handily losing us games because he can't catch a football to save his life then I really don't care who's back there.

    Mariani has had some nice returns for us since his debut. I'm completely fine with him. Could we upgrade? Yeah we could but it's hard to find a guy like that. He doesn't muff punts and he knows when to return and when to fair catch. He's fine.
