Yes Colston had a bad season for Marques, let's see what he comes back with, even so...

Look at all the weapons you just mentioned...

Graham, Colston, Cooks, Stills...

Then you've got developing talent like Josh Hill, Nick Toon...

You got the ghost of Lance Moore wanting a release...

Then you've got PT and whatever RB we dig up as UDFA...

There's only one freaking football!!!

We've got to spend that free agent money on an offensive line...

So Brees will have time to settle his confused mind where he wants to geaux with the ball with all those options...

And someone like Brandon Marshall wants the ball every single play, plus the touchdown...

Don't want a pouter-type when a teammate makes the score...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Developing talent??

Toon and Hill have been here three years each. Neither is a #1 WR

In fact brother, no one you mentioned is a #1.

Yes Marshall wants the ball. He wants it more then Colston and Graham in the last two seasons combined!!

The point is in this offense, Saints offense, we don't need a No. 1, anybody can be no. 1 any giving week and the opposition never knows where we're going with it...

And I'm not so sure Jimmy isn't a No. 1 which is what got us into trouble at times cause Drewsie wasn't checking down, but forcing it to Graham...

Toon three (although one on IR) but Hill has only been here two.

Sorry, I'm an obsessive corrector.

Re: Brandon Marshall

I like him and the idea is great. However, I'm just not interested in paying for a number 1 receiver if we're not going to fully utilize him in that role... and I don't think we would.

Re: Brandon Marshall

While I do think we need a receiver, we need to decide where we want to get a OL, in the draft or FA.

Re: Brandon Marshall

Marshall can't even stay put during the season

Flying to NYC for Inside the NFL tapings

What other player takes on that type of distraction?

So what is a #1? I hear the term all the time but few people can actually tell me what it is. Is it a certain body type? An attitude? A talent level?

I personally think we have all the recievers we need in our current system. Cooks and Stills are developing. Colston is the crafty veteran and Toon will provide depth.

Re: Brandon Marshall

I agree. It's not like the Seahawks and Patriots have prototypical number 1's either. We just need players to make plays when their number is called.

Exactly. Never would I have thought Julian Edelman (sp) would do as much damage as he did this past off season. This guy is like 5'9 & was absolutely balling.
