Congrats to Marques Colston
In the first season that Joe Horn was not a member of this franchise, he quietly (compared to Horn) went out and broke Horn's club record for receptions and tied him in touchdowns. The biggest thing Colston ever did after scoring a touchdown was slam it to the ground after having just dropped a previous touchdown pass a couple plays earlier (it was the Seattle game).

Colston:
16 games played, 98 catches, over 1,202 yards, 11 touchdowns, over 59 catches for first downs.

Horn:
12 games played, 27 catches, 243 yards, 1 touchdown (final game of season), 14 first downs.

And this is not meant to be an attack on Horn. Look, I own a Joe Horn jersey and I was not only proud to purchase it but I am still proud to own it. I plan to frame it if the guy retires before making anymore stupid comments, but the fact is that Colston is quickly on his way to far exceeding what Joe Horn did here in New Orleans. We have not had a receiver like Colston in this franchise's history and that includes Eric Martin.

It's pretty amazing when you consider that potentially we have our best QB, best RB (Deuce) and best WR all on the franchise at the same time with one guy at the end of his prime, another in the middle/entering (Brees) and the third just finishing his second season.

Congrats to #12, well done, well done
