One serious thought.
With Brees - our WRs are very good.
With Brunell - our WRs were poor, despite Brunell IMO getting more time than Brees had the last 2 weeks.

I believe we have a great set.
Meachem is a stand-out receiver.
Colston is very good although some poor handling for him this year, Colston, Henderson is a deep threat but has suffered a little from inaccurate throws from Brees of all people.
Moore, not enough playing time.

(And of course we have Shockey and Bush who catch the ball very well).

So are our WRs very good, average, poor?

They looked open all day yesterday. If Brees plays we score 45.

On that basis, let's hope Brees stays in the game!

brunell couldnt hit the broad side of a barn yesterday. men were open like crazy and he couldnt get them the ball. if brees played 2 series we win

The only blip is that Meach fumble. Can't really blame Brunell on that one.

True dat, exile. Mind you, I am not having a downer on Meachem for that. He has had a wonderful season so far. And maybe that is a just in time wake up call.

We do suck at backup QB ..... who can we get for next year? Tebo in the third round? Kolb from the Iggles? Garcia?

Brees makes the WR's better. I'm concerned about Henderson and Moore. Henderson has dropped a few, seems not in the game mentally, and hasn't made a big play in a long time. He's going to have to make a couple if the Saints are going to win. Moore just can't get on the field. The Saints need the first down catches he brings to the table.

BRUNELL.... ya could tell he is old... and hasn't played in couple years..... GAH !!!! we really don't have a better backup ... I mean really... AS far as WR.... lol Looked like meachum wanted the old man off the field... hahaaha I think they are fine....

There should be some very good options for backup QB going into next year. It's possible veteran guys like Marc Bulger, Jake Delhomme, and Chad Pennington will be available. Right now the Saints don't really need to use a draft pick at the position.

As for WRs, collectively I would have to place the Saints close to elite status. Individually, very good to excellent. Top 4 WRs are all starting material. Not to mention 2 quality starters at TE, and a very nice group of running backs who do a nice job catching passes.
