Daniel Fells

Not that there's anything wrong with Donnell, but the few times I've seen Fells on the field, he's looked like a quicker, smoother, more natural receiver than Donnell.

Right? Wrong? Should he get more reps?

I haven't noticed Fells looking superior to Donnell...

but I like the way they both play.

Hard to say he looks like a more natural recieve with some of the acrobatic catches Donnell has made.

Glad we have both.
Nothing wrong with Donnell

Except the fumbles!
Whenever Donnell fumbles

Just set a career high in single season TDs: 4
Fells at least is

If Fells were playing 10-15 years ago, he'd be one of the better TEs

in the NFL. He's an old-school TE who is a decent blocker and solid receiver. He doesn't have the athleticism that the modern NFL "basketball player" tight end has and doesn't flash at anything in particular but does everything pretty well.

He's your traditional in-line tight end, not an h-back or move guy that will create a miss match in the passing game but can get open and has good hands. He's proven very reliable.

Donnell can't block and fumbles

if TC doesn't bench him, he's a hypocrite... or maybe he just had something personal against Wilson.
I think they compliment each other well.

Between the two of them, we have a good NFL TE. I guess I look at it that way.
Under the radar signing

Quietly going about doing his job when called upon. Seems to be his personality. No crazy TD dance after catch just places the ball on the ground. One of the reasons we are scoring TDS this year instead of field goals. Man is earning his paycheck.
It is hard to compare Fells and Donnell. Fells has many

more years of experience and the benefit of having been coached by a team not the Giants. Donnell is still learning and may develop some skills and improve his technique (or not).

and Donell are one TD away from a team record at the position.
They have done a good job...would be better but a few rookie mistakes figure in.
Donnell has great hands and has shown great

athleticism. He just has to get better at blocking. I've seen some good there and some very bad, but he makes up for some of it as a receiver. He also needs to ensure he has a grip on the ball from now on, as defenders will now try to strip him as well.
I don't know, I read here...  
Chris in Philly : 10/21/2014 7:37 pm : link
that Donnell has the greatest hands of any TE in NFL history....
Let's just be thankful

that both are acceptable TEs.
Before the season started the Intelligentsia of BBI had the Giants with 0 TEs.
