Re: meachem
I mean I could say bust, but there would be so many things wrong with that label at this point in time. First of all, we're still in the preseason. These aren't real games and he's not being thrown the ball by Drew Brees, and that makes a huge difference (just ask all of those guys who went from having to catch AB's balls to catching Brees' balls). Secondly, if you have seen absolutely nothing out of Meachem, it's probably because you haven't been watching because he made a spectacular catch in the back of the end zone against Buffalo. Thirdly, you have to remember that the guy is just a rookie, one who is also coming off of knee surgery which forced him to miss some time in camp. You can't judge him by the results of somebody like, say Marques Colston, because finding a rookie wide receiver who can do that is RARE. It is widely known that one of the most difficult positions for a rookie to come in and make an impact at is wide receiver. So I would say that your label of "bust" is a little premature considering 1) we're still in preseason, 2) he has shown some signs of promise, 3) he's a rookie coming off knee surgery, and 4) he is trying to come into the hardest position for rookies to succeed at in the NFL.
