Re: Si.com/Bob Rose | Saints Shortcomings at Receiver Hampering Offense
Think a lot of us have been saying this for a while.
Brees in his prime, turned a bunch of unwanted Receivers into basically all pro's and Saints Legends. Ever since then, I think Payton sees that position as not needed as much so chooses to address it via UDFA. Now we don't have that level of QB, that sort of thought process won't help Jameis out at all. |

Re: Si.com/Bob Rose | Saints Shortcomings at Receiver Hampering Offense
Well when you ignore drafting @ WR for 3 consecutive seasons, this is often the end result at this level. Way too many undrafted guys at WR on this roster for my taste.
I'm hopeful Kenny Stills can take some heat off Callaway until Mike returns. The Saints being currently ranked #32 in passing yards is something you never see in a Sean Payton offense. |

I would of traded up in that draft in the second and got Marshall. Did they seriously think Tre’Quan could be trusted to play 17 games? That’s a lot of misplaced trust |

Guy has like 1 or 2 decent games a year. The rest he's either injured or invisible. Seems like Winston isn't set up for success with a bad O line and no talent at WR. |

From what I heard MT delaying the surgery hurt us a lot. He was supposed to be ready week 1. That’s why CSP was so pissed, cause it threw a major monkey wrench in the offense. I’ll say this though I still wouldn't of been sold on Quan as our no. 2 |
