Through the Quarterback's Eyes

New Orleans Saints - Through the Quarterbacks Eyes

How have you seen Robert Meachem grow this year?

Drew Brees: “He was hurt for the preseason so I think no one got a good look at him. I’ve seen him improve every day. He is working on scout team and he’s a guy who I don’t think has missed a rep. He was kind of fighting through some pain early on and gradually you have seen him getting better and better. Another thing that I think Meachem has is that he has great guys to look up to. He has a similar body-type to Marques Colston so on a lot of the things he can look at Marques and go, ‘That’s me.’ Also having the veteran experience of a guy like David Patten to help bring him along and just to know he’s got some good guidance and some good mentorship, this has been a good learning experience for him.”

Q-Have you seen Meachem grow?

A-Yes guys grow when they are sitting the bench, ask J Sullivan.

He's grown a beard. But that's about it.

You have to play your best players who are ready. Taking chances is giving up. WR position typically these guys need time to develop for 3-4 years before they come into there own (yes they are exceptions). I don't think he would have made such a contribution that would have turned the games around. I mean he's a WR not a DB.

Re: Through the Quarterback's Eyes

i realize they need time to develop...but players that were drafted after him...bowe, jarret, colston (i know colston's a freak), but it seems like plenty of WRs get a shot at least.

i see the giving up thing...i guess if he's not good enough, don't start him. totally agree...but why the hell isn't he good enough is my question? is he going to be some kind of a secret weapon in a few years that can catch everything his way and not?
