2022 NFL receiving corps rankings

K Major · 06-15-2022, 09:25 AM

Saints were damn near LAST in WR rankings for 2021.

Fast forward to now, we selected arguably the best wide out prospect from the draft & also signed a proven, chain mover & dawg in Landry.

Tier 2 is an excellent starting point for 2022.

Not to mention getting back arguably the best possession receiver in the league in Michael Thomas.

I'm still waiting to see how well Can't call Mike will do when he starts cutting. He is older and hasn't seen the field in over a year. I have my reservations but I'm hoping for the team oriented Michael to come back to the Saints and be a team firs guy.

And before someone says he's a team guy, I just want to say that staying in touch with the medical staff, coaches and front office and getting the proper treatment is what I'm talking about. Thanks in advance.

I hope that drum your beating for Thomas after being off a year and 1/2 pays off.

Why would it not? He was arguably the best receiver in the league when he suffered that injury. His prowess was not due to speed. It was due to smart route running and, most of all, incredible hands. The last I heard his hands were not injured nor was his memory erased. Or did I miss something there?

You just sound resentful that he got paid. From all indications he has been working his ass off to get ready for the 2022 season after having to undergo a second surgery this past November. His salary is a bargain as compared to the new deals all the other top WR's are receiving. I really don't get the whole lack of hunger claim.

I don't resent it begrudge anyone a payday, nor does his money personally impact me in any sort of way.

Since the injury, there has been no lack of Diva like behavior.

We both have opinions of MT and will have to agree to disagree.

Hopefully, he will return this year and we will see how his career flourishes without Drew. If he has a return to form, I will gladly change my opinion. I would absolutely love to be wrong about him, but at this point he is a very distant highlight reel.

Hopefully, CGM won't need a $6 million ankle like yours ...

Add me to the list of folks who are nervous about MT. After a year and a half, and with some reports saying he still has a slight limp, I'm worried about this young man's ankle having permanent damage. Aside from football, I hope he's actually ok. I hope it's just a rope-a-dope, but we will see. If he is fully healthy, I don't worry about his motivation or any diminishing skill set.

Legit concern.
