Before the ref came out to announce his decision, all us Saints fans were high-fiving and the "Who dat" chants started rolling. That was the turning point as the Saints were behind and made a terrific comeback.

congrats on seeing an amazing game live. You know, in the old days, all our games were exciting like that, -- I remember, except we were the team on the losing end of the miracle.

I invite you all to look at the Super Bowl Season video again, and see how many times Meachem pops up with a big play.

I'm waiting for AA. Will we finally see this kid play this year.?.

Has to stay healthy to do that.

Depends on what you deem a "breakout season"

He's a COG in the wheel of the NFL's top offense.

If he grabs 50 for 800yards and 10 TD's then that's about what he should do. Stay healthy, score on a couple of end-around plays, stretch the D and catch a bomb when he's open. That's his role.

I'm not sure how he could have a huge season stat wise or any other player for that matter.

The addition of Mark Ingram, and having a backfield of Ivory, Ingram, Pierre and possibly Bush will open up the deep ball for meachem, it wasn't there last year because we had no running game so opponents took away the deep ball all the time.
Ingram will do some damage between the tackles, ivory is a flat out beast aswell he just needs to stay healthy!

He is a perfect #2 WR, which he shares with Devery Henderson, and he still puts up those numbers.

If Colston or Henderson missed significant time, Meachem's numbers would skyrocket.

If your good your numbers and PT should skyrocket already...

He's a bust...

Out of condition as a Rookie...

Potential...wasted...

i wouldnt say bust. when hes healthy he is a pretty good player. but yea i guess i see where he is a bust. looking at the draft, the next few guys taken after him havent set the world on fire. Sid Rice would have been a better pickup who was taken a bunch of picks after him
