Quote:Also, who the heck comped him to Bowe? Yikes, they are basically the antithesis of each other.

 

I think the obvious comp for Lee is Victor Cruz, both in size and skill set. The Giants basically revolutionized the slot WR position by using Cruz as a deep threat out of the slot, and I think that's what we should do with Marqise. He doesn't have the size or deep speed to be a perimeter deep threat, but get him inside on nickel corners and safeties and then send him deep like Cruz. I think his speed will play up nicely against the less premier athletes and he could be a very good player in that role. 

 

That was me. My comparison was a mix of Bowe and Austin, actually. I see traits of both in Lee. From ProFootballWeekly

 

Dwayne Bowe strenghs:

-He can make plays on the balls in the air that other receivers can't. (Lee can, too. He has elite "jump ball" skills, despite being 6'0).

-He is not afraid to go over the middle in traffic.

 

Weaknesses:

-Nobody would call him slow, but it is rare to see him breaking away from corners.

-Drops

 

 

Like I said, a Dwayne Bowe / Miles Austin hybrid is not a terrible comparison.
