2022 NFL receiving corps rankings
 

Saints considered Tier 2

Fair assessment and an under the radar one too.

If our O line is solid, with what we have at wr we should be very good.

Re: 2022 NFL receiving corps rankings
 

I believe you are right in your assessment. We have the receiving core to be very good if the O-line clicks and Winston stays healthy. Olave looks like a smooth route runner who will be very good with us. I hope can't call Mike gets motivated with him on the team.

It gets me very nervous that Mike isn't ready yet. I know the Saints will not take chances with this guy and would hold him back anyway, just hope the situation with MT isn't worse than what is being reported. Kinda makes me wonder if MT's situation is the real reason Landry was signed?

Re: 2022 NFL receiving corps rankings
 

Mike has never NOT been motivated. That's why he's had the success he has had. I just hope Olave and Landry (and the others) get just as motivated as Mike has always been.

Tier 2 must mean twice as good as tier one!!!

Re: 2022 NFL receiving corps rankings
 

Honestly, MT has had the majority of his game time with Drew Brees. I don't think it can be underestimated that Brees has made many receivers look good during his career, many that went on to do nothing with other teams.

Not popular decision, but I would have parted ways a couple of seasons ago.

Re: 2022 NFL receiving corps rankings
 

Complete BS. I truly hope our new additions are much more hungry than MT after his payday.

Re: 2022 NFL receiving corps rankings
 

Not BS at all. One of the most recognized attributes of Michael Thomas was always his passion and drive. Your complaints about some lack of hunger coincide perfectly with the freak injury sustained in the first game of the 2020 season against the Bucs. Up to that point he was arguably the best WR in the game. He showed enough hunger to play through that injury when he should have been shut down.

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.

Re: 2022 NFL receiving corps rankings
 

You are correct on this point. It would have absolutely not a popular decision and for extremely good reasons.
