meachem
 

i dont want to be negative but i see absoutlely nothing out of meachem ..can yall say bust?!?!?

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.

Re: meachem
 

Just way to early to say he's a "bust"
IMO he'll be OK once he gains more experience.
He is a rookie and we all know what a rookie WR goes through in most cases in the NFL.(speed of the game, routes etc)
Colston was a wonderful exception.

Re: meachem
 

Bust is a lil to strong of a label. Let's just see how he develop during the season first. Besides, like I said before, he's not a primary weapon or a go to guy. He's going to have time to develop, so let's just hope he does, because it will make our team that much better.

Re: meachem
 

i don feel like u can label a wr a bust after the first season, much less just after 3 pre-season games!

Re: meachem
 

I wont, I can not, and shall not utter those words.
Why u ask:
1st round money. That buys him the standard 3 year arrival time in the NFL. Just be glad the wait is with the 27th pick money and nothing higher.

Re: meachem
 

it is still early. the kid is a rookie and mssed time because of the injury. i think devery will have a pretty good year and i hope to see some stuff out of meach during the year. some signs of life, but he will still be a rookie. add in colston and that will eventually be a nice 3 at wide out.

Re: meachem
 

there is no reason to label him a bust... hes played 3 games.. 3... you cant expect any player to come into the league and be a probowler overnight... its just to rare of an occurance... come back to me in 2 or 3 years and then ill let you know if he is a bust or not...

Re: meachem
 

too early for bust talk, look devery finally had a good season last year, and is finally coming into his own in the league. He was expected to be a big contributor early on. It just takes time. I'd rather the team let him take some time to develop and mature rather than just throwing him to the wolves and ending up like charles rogers.

Re: meachem
 

It's too early to say bust, but I will say this...

I didn't like that pick to begin with, and he hasn't done anything to this point that has made me change my opinion. But, I really really want him to turn into something...I'm just not confident.

But I love the Lance Moore kat...maybe we should've paid him the 27th pick money.
